Hi guys .
I have 9950x, and I have Cooler Master Atmos 360 water cooler. During my full system scan with Bitdefender it staying around 82c and sometimes was hiting 88.6c. Wow fans was run like a crazy like beehive. Is it normal? Or something wrong. When my 9950x idle it stays around 36c - 48c.
 
Thinking back to my 10900K CPU, it would heat up to a higher temp on all cores when running a manual Windows Defender antivirus scan of the whole OS drive. The OS drive was on an NVME drive.

In coretemp I could see the core usage maxed out on all cores when the antivirus scan was running hard and heating up my CPU. I liked to use this as a method to test my overclocks sometimes.
 
I haven't run a full system scan recently but everyday Bitdefender scans pc I hit 77 to 80c so that sounds about right I guess for a full system scan. How long had the scan been running for?
I only have an air cooler myself on a 5800x3d

It's software that places certain load on CPU and whole system and that takes some energy of which some is manifested as temperature. you can't judge by SW, some load more some less. There are also several ways to view temperatures. You can have even only one core higher than others and that shows as whole CPU while others are at minimum.

It was completed in 32 min. First 10 min was around 70c, then next 15 min the temp hit 82t to 88c, further to the end it dropped to around 70c to the end.
