Hey Guys,
I recently made the upgrade to a 2700X, primarily to stream and render better. I've seen many videos and articles showcasing that the stock cooler, as a matter of fact, was perfectly capable of cooling the processor, even under a heavy workload. The numbers presented derive their max from me attempting to record War Thunder with OBS using the x264 encoder. https://gyazo.com/5c8e8f3dbd837ef532448fc8d02ff2df Needless to say, these numbers are out of my comfort zone. What is also concerning is the fact that, even with a house ambient of 20 C, my CPU seems to be idling at above 50 C. I do not have any overclocks applied. The only thing I can think of is either A. I need to replace the thermal compound (I used the preapplied stuff), or B. I need to reset the cooler. Should I be getting these temps, or is there something blatantly wrong with these results?
Thanks,
Noah
