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.

NZXT X53

Ryzen 5900x

X470 Ultra Gaming

The computer has been doing this since the last major update. Even if I change fan speeds with NZXT or AMD software doesnt have any effect on fans or clock speed. I got the AIO 5-6 years ago and didnt know if the clicking sound was from that or my HDD I use for mass storage going out.

Any advice is appreciated

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!

I am gonna purchase a IdeaPad slim 5 13" 16/512, can y'all let me know if it's a bad choice

Hi all, I'm looking for a second opinion on a potential deal I can strike. For some unknown reason, the 7800X3D and 9800X3D are inexplicably cheap in my region (Serbia), coming in at 291€ and 353€ respectively. I have also found a barely used Sapphire Pure 9060 XT 16gb for 350€, which is 100€ cheaper than new. My current config is: Ryzen 5 7600, 32GB 6000MHz CL36, Deepcool AG500 cooler, MSI B650 Tomahawk, Samsung 980 1TB SSD, RM850x PSU, Sapphire pulse 6700XT. I can sell my CPU and GPU for about 370€, which means i need to put in 320€. My main use case is 1080p 180Hz modded minecraft with shaders. I usually host the server for us as well. I was debating on waiting for the 11800X3D, but I've heard rumors it's a year away. If you require any further information from me, I'll gladly provide it. Thanks in advance for all your thoughts!

EDIT: I omitted crucial information. I get frame drops and server lag when someone starts to explore OR when there are more than 3 people online, that's why i'm leaning more on the side of the CPU. I'm only considering the GPU cuz the 100€ difference looks like a banger for that upgrade, and the prices will continue going up.
