Re: Higher than normal PC Temps

It's not the hardware's fault. I have freshly installed Ryzen 7 5800x3d with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 mm. I know this Ryzen is usually a bit hotter, but even stress testing (and I have done a lot) where there is 100% load on all cores and threads does not get past 80C. The game goes 85C on my CPU and the frequency on which the CPU works is 2.5 GHz. We know that the 5800x3d has a lot higher base clocks than that. I don't know what it is, maybe your precious Denuvo, but this issue has to be addressed. What I did to lower the temps though is from the BIOS I turned off SMT(hyperthreading) and the temps dropped to 75C. Might help other people. So it's not people's hardware, it's another PC port not properly optimized.
