I recently changed my "old" 7700K, installed on an Asus Maximus IX Formula for a much newer AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, on an Asus Crosshair VIII Formula.
To put things in context, both CPUs and MoBos have been installed on a system that has a dual watercooling loop, one of them for the GPU and one only for the Ryzen 7 and the Formula. Old 7700K could reach about 60º/65º on load, while staying around 35º on idle (room temp being about 25º).
For a reason I can't manage to understand or find that reason, the 3700X stays around 40º if I just stare at the wallpaper, reaching about 45º/50º by doing only simple things like net surfing or YouTube. Playing games it almost instantly spikes above 60º, reaching quite usually numbers close to 70º. I've even seen 79º after two hours of gaming, or almost instantly by stress testing the CPU on Prime 95 or Aida 64. I don't think this is normal, at all, since the CPU has almost never reached 4'35GHz, not talking about 4'4GHz, which have proved to be too much for it by now.
The BIOS is the last one Asus has released for the MoBo, also last chipset drivers by AMD, released yesterday 27/09/2019. Motherboard has also shown some other weird issued related to voltaje, and I'm starting to think that maybe it's a faulty unit, but tbh I would prefer to know if it may be a different issue before having to disassemble the whole water cooling loop.
Thanks in advance.
