Computer Type: Desktop Custom build
GPU: RTX 2070 Super stock
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler
Motherboard: Crosshair hero 7 wifi
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz
PSU: 750w
Case: Thermaltake Armor+MX ATX Mid Tower. Fans: Noctua 120mm 1700rpm (rear exhaust), PSU fan (rear exhaust), Noctua 200mm 1700rpm (side intake, blows on top of CPU), 2 smaller intake fans on front of case.
Operating System & Version: Win10 1909
GPU Drivers: Nvidia 451.67
Chipset Drivers: 5.12.0.38 (I think? Not 100% sure how to verify this)
Background Applications: Steam, origin, discord, geforce experience, HWinfo64
Description of Original Problem: Random/infrequent CPU overheating (~90c)
Troubleshooting: Adjusted CPU voltage offset in bios -0.1v. Set more aggressive CPU fan curve. Cleaned case of dust (I do this about once a month anyways).
A bit more background. Idle temps ~35c. This has happened twice. First time was about a month ago when I was playing No Man's Sky. I had been playing about 45 mins when I afk'd for a few mins. When I returned, it was about 90c and throttling. During that play session, temps ranged from about 40-60c, with average temp of 43c. I shut down, booted back up and didn't see the issue again for about a month. During that month I continued to play plenty of games (Control, Apex Legends, VR games, No Mans Sky etc etc) without any overheating.
Today was the second occurrence. Playing No Mans Sky for about 30 mins and had alt-tabbed, went afk and when I returned, it was about 85c and throttling. Shut down right away and here I am now. It has been about 2 hours since reboot, and I have sat with both Apex and/or No Mans Sky running without overheating. Max temp is 60.5c, average temp is 43.7c.
Any help on troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated!
