At work we have two 9950x3d machines with 120mm coolers and I dont think those even hit 80c under load. Most of the time they're in the 60s unless you're going balls out to stress test them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] frongt@lemmy.zip -1 points 4 months ago Throttling, probably. permalink fedilink source parent
