Thank you for the reply @Lafong I went into my BIOS and looked at the setting that enables/disables this alert but I couldn't see the temp value in order to verify the alert displays when the CPU hits its TJMax temp. I had some more strange behavior with my PC. After a restart it was running...

I built a PC this summer and haven't had any issues with it. CPU runs around 60-70c in most games, occasionally to 80c for more demanding ones. I restarted my PC today and got this message for less than a minute (found image elsewhere on internet). I could hear my CPU fans increasing and...

Thank you for explaining (and the others who helped)! I didn't realize the benchmark was just measuring one thread, but it makes sense.

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I actually built this a couple weeks ago and should have posted this then. I did this pea method and just installed the air cooler on top of it hoping it would just naturally spread. I hope that's fine. I think temps have been fine so far. Depending on the game, I get between 60-76C...

I haven't built a PC in a long time and wanted some opinions on the amount of thermal paste I put on my 7800x3d. Thanks.
