Higher game temps? 1800x

[imdawdaw]

Hi, I OC my 1800x to 4GHz … when I cinebench my max temp is around 68 degrees (I have an arctic freezer esport 2 fan variant) also when I stressed it on Prime95 for 4 min (my VRM got to 95 degrees a bit high for my liking) which is somewhat relatively good enough (I think) to see the temps stabilise and I got 75 degrees (each min it either moved 0.1 up or down so I assume longer would peak max around high 70s) in both my CPU voltage (from HWinfo64) is around 1.28v with VCore being 1.39v peak https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/515621307908489219/526086792735227914/unknown.png?width=1123&height=587
So I assume my temps are fine as prime and cinebench are somewhat the extremes as its 100% usage across all of my cores/threads but in BF1 my cpu peaks at 79 degrees and sits around 68 degrees at 20-40% usage …… so how does that work? I know in bf1 my cpu voltage is 1.35v instead of 1.28v but could that be it?

For AMD cpu everything is fine if below 95C. Primes 95 is craziest stress test ever! I Think the primes 95 doesn't test the Cpu's stability, it's about how's good your cooling is, because every CPU that using Primes 95 for Stress Test it will get above 90C even on 4 core cpu.

and if you do overclock, everything below 1.4V is fine for 24/7 as AMD said

VRM is the regulator to provide optimal power for the cpu. for VRM below 105C is fine. It's becomes too hot because you are running prime 95. as i said that was craziest stress test ever. even profesional overclocker just avoid it when they do higher Cpu Clock.

Ok that makes sense so why do my temps reach higher in games compared to prime95?
