Yeah, not sure I’d be comfortable with this “fix” personally.

    From gamer nexus testings, it looks like there enough of headroom to operate below any throtling threshold. Fan basically silent even at full load. So I assume yes, most probably somewhat default 95C peak and somewhat tweaked power settings.

      wait so is it tripping because of the hotspots being that temperature or what?

      I don’t really get what’s being said here

      And I don’t see how the hell it could even get close to thermal limits from GN’s testing.

      Holy hell, 95c? I never let my gear get above 70 for fear of reduced service life.

        Yes, 95C max for desktop CPU, 105C for notebook APU, became a default like, 20 years ago or so

        I mean, for recent generations of hardware that’s pretty excessive unless you have put in a considerable amount of cooling. Otherwise, if you’re doing that to a part that’s been rated for 95 degrees for example, which many current CPUs are, you’re most likely just loosing out on value by not having picked a lower tier part that already runs cooler by design in the first place.

        Generally, thermal stress, caused by frequent heating/cooling cycles also causes far more damage to hardware parts than sustained heat.
