7900x constantly reaches and stays at 95C under full load RTX 4090, 7900x, 2x32GB DDR5 6000Mhz RAM, 4TB SSD M2, Gigabyte Aorus B560M Elite AX, Aero prism ARGB Black, Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4
Ever since I got my PC - 2 weeks ago - I have had the problem of the 7900x overheating constantly. By this I mean that while I game in 4K max settings, especially in new AAA games,
the 7900x quickly gets to 95C and 5500Mhz and then stays very close to that temperature, namely around 90-95C but usually around 93-95C. The clock speed begins to fluctuate once it reaches the max temp of 95C, between 4700Mhz-5500Mhz, up and down, down and up.
All components are brand new. I made sure that the DRP4 doesn't have the plastic film on the bottom - it does not. Re-seated the DRP4 and also re-applied the thermal paste on the CPU. Went into the BIOS and put the CPU into the 105W Eco Mode, applied Curve Optimizer All Cores Negative 20, to no avail: Under heavy load -eg in Games, Cinebench, etc - it still quickly reaches 95C and stays there, rides that line. At idle I get 54C-65C
Also tried taking off the glass side panel and game for 10 minutes: The temps remained the exact same so it doesn't seem like airflow is the issue (even tho I thought so!)
Is this normal or is this still wrong? Is this expected behavior? Seems super weird to me but I might be ignorant on this.
