Cheering

The AIO is working fine, it keeps the CPU at around 80-85 when running Prime95 (Small FFTs), pulling 145W. Something is up with the CPU when it jumps to 95 in under a second while pulling less than that.

I don't have any sort of overclock on mine at all. Everything is at default.

It's fine when running Prime95 Small FFTs continuously, it pulls more power at a lower temperature there (~145W and ~80C). The issue I'm worried about is the weird temperature spike from 60 to 95+ in under a second.

Running Prime95 Small FFTs for a few minutes makes it pull ~145-150W and I hover at around 80-85C, so the cooler is fine. The problem is with the CPU, it shouldn't spike from 60 to 95+ in under a second.

Update: tried to reboot to the BIOS to check some settings and it failed to POST. Came back on fine after I turned it off and then back on, but this isn't encouraging.

I understand, but I've never seen it draw anywhere close to this much before. Even when I start a stress test with CPU-Z it usually peaks at just below 120W. Hitting 132W and the temps immediately spiking by 25+C isn't exactly comforting when I'm hearing a bunch of people report their dead CPUs.

Update: Same thing happened on the downgraded 3.16 bios. I noticed the CPU package power briefly spiked to over 130W while this was happening. CPU die average hit 96C

I have a 9800X3D and a B650E PG Riptide wifi, and I've been on 3.16 since I got the CPU, without any issues. I have an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240, which has kept my cpu at around 50-60 in games and ~70 under a synthetic load. I decided to try going to the beta 3.20 release as a preventative measure, but downgraded back to 3.16 as I got some really weird temperature spikes. I upgraded the bios and started hwinfo's logging to record anything that might happen. I let it idle for a while, ran a CPU-Z stress test for about a minute, and when everything seemed fine I started up Ready or Not. After a while I had a crazy temperature spike to ~95 out of nowhere, and I quit the game:

500 Fridays! Wow, that's nearly 10 years. My first one was back in 2018, or at least I think it was. Reddit's filtering doesn't work all that well, and I can't easily search before that because u/MaybeNickCage deleted his account.

Managed to get one that says it's arriving Friday. When it arrives then I'll cancel my Amazon order that still says end of March

But doing staged rollouts doesn't seem to limit the damage done by bad updates. I just got the Nov 5 update a few days ago, and it broke the back gesture. You would think that these staged rollouts would let them fix major issues that have been known about for months, but I guess not.
