Yea, 77-80 when running games isn’t normal…I keep my 5900x clocked to 4.6 ghz and after playing madden since 130 today the max temp I’ve hit has been 49.1 on the cpu die and 39.8 on cpu tactless/tide over that period as reported by hwinfo…I’d accept temps up to 65ish under load anything after that your cooler is either insufficient or not working properly. I’m only running a liquid freezor II 360mm less than 8 months old. Every year you should blow out the fins on coolers as dirt get trapped in them and they don’t cool right…if you do have a water cooler aio especially a Corsair one check that the pump is working in the software if the pump is reading 0rpm then that’s an issue.
what AIO cooler do u recommend?
@BigShotChunk I would run something like Cinebench and see what temps you get. Are you playing at 4K? If not, any of the standard 360mm AIO's would work. I've used MSI, Corsair, NTXZ and they all should cool that chip I would also check bios update and see if there's anything worth updating for, and chipset drivers also.
