On behalf of Tom's moderator Team, welcome aboard!
(1) You haven't mentioned your ambient temperature. The International Standard for "normal" room temperature is 22°C or 72°F. Ambient can be a HUGE variable.
(2) AIDA64 has 4 CPU related stress test selections which have
15 possible combinations that yield
15 different Core temperatures. The individual CPU test is only a 70% workload, which gives users misleadingly low thermal results. Any meaningful comparisons need to account for as many variables as possible.
(3) Prime95 Small FFT's
without AVX/2 is a true 100% workload.
(4) Prime95 Small FFT's w
ith AVX/2 is a 130% workload.
“Stress” tests vary widely and can be characterized into two categories;
stability tests which are
fluctuating workloads, and
thermal tests which are
steady workloads. Prime95 v29.8 Small FFT's
(all AVX test selections disabled) is ideally suited for testing thermal performance, because it conforms to Intel's Datasheets as a
steady 100% workload with
steady Core temperatures. No other utility can so closely replicate Intel's thermal test workload.
Utilities that don't
overload or
underload your processor will give you a valid thermal baseline. Here’s a comparison of utilities grouped as
thermal and
stability tests according to % of TDP, averaged across six processor Generations at stock settings rounded to the nearest 5%:
Although these tests range from
70% to 130% TDP workload, Windows Task Manager interprets every test as
100% CPU Utilization, which is processor resource activity,
not actual workload.
If you want to get yourself up to speed on this topic, then you need to read this Sticky:
Intel Temperature Guide
It's right at the top of the CPUs Forum; if you just look you can't miss it.
See Sections 11 -
Thermal Test Basics & Section 12 -
Thermal Test 100% Workload.
Once again, welcome aboard!
