[SOLVED] 3950x High temperature

[rikoma17]

Hey guys,
Just got a 3950x and no matter what I seem to do it the temperature is always really high.
The idle temps are between 60 to 70 degrees with nothing but Ryzen master. I've tried to lower the voltage but that doesn't seem to affect it. When I run cinebench r20 it pegs it at 95 degrees and throttles down to 1.8ghz giving me a cpu score of 4700.
I upgraded from a 1700x and never had an issue with it before
Specs:
Ryzen 9 3950x Corsair h110i gt Asus crosshair vi hero -x370 Bios :7901x64
Any idea of a fix or is it just a dead CPU!!
Thanks in advance

UPDATE:
without me changing anything I turned it on today and the idle temps are bellow 40 degrees and max out at 65 degrees in cinebench r20 giving me a score of 7300 at 4.1Ghz. No idea what has happened

Post full PC specs please.

Are you sure the Corsair h110i is working properly? Are you sure you re-installed the cooler properly when you put in the new CPU?

ive tried to reset it a few times and it seems to be in place never had an issue mounting it

Did you clean the thermal compound from the heatsink when you removed it from the old CPU? Did you re-apply fresh thermal compound to the CPU prior to putting the heatsink back on? Are you sure you connected up all the wires coming from the AIO back to the motherboard/PSU?

i cleaned the thermal paster and reapplied the thermal paste, i have even tried it several times with different applications.

didn't unplug any of the cables as all I did was replace the CPU on a existing build

Did you reset the CMOS after you put in the new CPU and it was still powered down? Then, when you powered it up, did you get into the BIOS and reset it to factory defaults?

yeah ive reset the BIOS several times now and put it at factory defaults, im starting to think its the cooler going to try a different one in the next few days

Good luck man! If you put back in the old CPU, are the temps back to normal?

i will test that as well if the other cooler doesnt make a change

You should check your liquid temp when your at 95c to see whats going on exactly because it is a issue with the cooler my friend ya know.🤷‍♂️💯🙈

7300 is about what I get with my 3900X. Maybe something is still off but good temps are most important
