Hi everyone, I hope that we can figure this out. So right now I am running Overwatch, to simulate a medium load. Cpu usage averaging about 60%.

Keep in mind this is with power saver mode on.

Temperature at Avg. 45 deg. Upon activating balanced power mode, my temperature quickly skyrockets to 70's and above. Same thing with High Power mode.

After reaching 79 degrees and above, my pc will shut off itself.

Anyone know what is going on?
 

Your system is in a cold room? If not, then you should use AMD Overdrive to monitor the more accurate thermal margins (distance to throttling).
