    Question CPU temp rises to 100°C and PC restarts ?

    For the past few years, whenever I'd run a game that's a bit on the heavy side, my computer would randomly shut down and restart itself. I've started playing Baldur's Gate lately and whenever I'd open the game, the temperature of the CPU would go up without stopping unless I close the game...

    Question Cinebench makes my CPU temp immediately jump to 100 C and gets a 1180 score on 12900k

    I just built my first PC and decided to do some benchmarking. When I tried running Cinebench on my 12900k, I got a shockingly low score of 1180. I looked it up and couldn't find anyone with the same issue, just people complaining about getting 20k on a 12900k lol. I checked Core Temp and it...

    Question How to fix high CPU frequency and overheating?

    The problem I am facing is that the CPU frequency is high for some reason, without overclocking. I addressed this issue before, by changing the limit in BIOS, but it changed back. My CPU is also overheating, probably due to the high frequency. The CPU usage is low, within 1-10%. The frequency...

    I've a Ryzen 5 3600 and a GTX 1660 Ti, so obviously the GPU is the bottleneck here. Probably cause I messed up the thermal paste when installing the stock CPU cooler, I'm getting 50° C idle temps and 95 ° C on load. (just one try on Cinebench R20) I undervolted the CPU by 0.0625 V and it...

    [SOLVED] Weird temp reads
