CPU overheating at idle (2-5% usage) and cool underload (80-90% usage)

[sinful lagoon]

Previously my cpu used to idle just fine at 30c but now it’s idling at 60c and climbs as high as 100c and crashes the pc.

If I benchmark it, the temp goes down and stays between 55c and 65c which is normal and I still get the same scores as before.

To eliminate fan variable, the fans are set to 100% at all times and it changes nothing, it still overheats, just slightly slower at idle.

To many processes or gap between cooler and cpu

@sand isle I’ve already remounted the cpu cooler. Nothing has changed since. And there’s no processes using up the cpu at idle

Go task manager then cpu and send a pic

It don’t matter

Try reinstalling your AMD drivers, somehow mine was running on like 2 year old drivers and I was running into strange issues

@sinful lagoon

[sinful lagoon]

Did that and still same problem, I’ve reinstalled windows, updated bios, reset bios as welll @split karma

Have you tried to clear CMOS data? Might as well give it a shot

@sinful lagoon

[sinful lagoon]

Did that as well

Are you air cooling or liquid cooling

Idk what is the problem

[sand isle]

I meant performance

Then cpu

[sinful lagoon]

The performance on benchmarking is almost the exact same as before

When was the last time you changed thermal paste?

@sinful lagoon

[sinful lagoon]

Yesterday.

Grizzly thermal

@split karma

The only solution for now is not using my pc

[split karma]

Is your cpu tower full of dust?

[sinful lagoon]

No I

No
