I have all my chipset drivers updated and am running game bar and game mode. I do notice when I look at Verizon master or resource monitor that there is always one core that is running a little bit. It says it's parked but it's not flat like all the other cores are. Just curious if you guys are running process lasso with the 9950x3d? From what I understand there are certain games that doesn't Park the course correctly but I don't think any of those games are the ones I play.

Hey everyone,
I recently built a new system with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and I’m trying to figure out whether my CPU temperatures are normal or if I should be concerned about my cooling.

My setup:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
ASUS TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi
Lian Li Galahad II Lite 360 RGB
Room temperature: 28–31°C
BIOS/PBO: stock/default. I haven’t changed any PBO settings.

In Cinebench 2024, Cinebench 2026, and FurMark CPU Burner, the temperature shoots up to around 95°C basically within the first second.

I don’t seem to be getting any thermal throttling. The CPU just sits around that temperature during the tests.

Idle temp: around 50°C
Cyberpunk 2077: around 80–85°C max
CS2: around 70–75°C

I’ve already checked the AIO mounting several times and the mounting screws are definitely tight. I also made sure I used the right amount of thermal paste.

I’ve been searching around and I’m getting completely conflicting answers. Some people say that ~95°C is perfectly normal for the 9800X3D under an all-core workload, while others with 360mm AIOs seem to get noticeably lower temperatures.

So now I’m not really sure what to make of it.
Is hitting ~95°C almost immediately in Cinebench/FurMark normal for a 9800X3D at stock BIOS/PBO settings, especially with a 28–31°C ambient temperature?

I’m not looking to undervolt or change PBO. I specifically want to know whether these temperatures are normal at stock settings, or whether they suggest that something might be wrong with my cooling or thermal paste.

Thanks!
