So , me and my friend have the same CPU and SAME heatsink , yet , on prime95 , his cpu is stable for 10 minutes on 45C , and mine in the space of 2 minutes , spikes to 75C , on games like Battlefield 1 and Rainbow Six Siege or other CPU heavy games , the pc simply shut itself down because of the temperature , I tried another thermal paste (Silver Artic 5) but the difference is barely noticable , only shutting down 30 min later than usual * . My last cpu which was a downgrade of this one obviously , ran the same games without any overheating issues , more performance troubles on the game tho since it was less ''new and performing'' , but yeah , I need your help people. I'll give you screenshots and statistics if needed. :)
 
AS5 does have a cure time, so temps will get slightly (and I mean slightly) better over time.
What are your temps (thermal margin) in AMD overdrive? OD is one of the only, if not the only, accurate way to measure AMD temperatures.
If your thermal margin is at or below 0, action needs to be taken. AMD processors shouldnt be able to reach 75C without shutting down or thermal throttling.

What cooler are you (both) using?

Well , even if what you say if true , like I said , explain to me why his cpu doesn't go over 45 but mine does , yet we have same gear. Our coolors are the Cooler Master Hyper 212.
