Well, AMD on those Gens are damm hot, but they like water, even more, new thermal paste
My old phenom II x6 1055T, run with air, between 38°c to 69°c, from idle to full use with an ambient of 46°c summer heats, sometimes 51°c
After i make the full water loop the max temp full load was 52°c and idle around 26°c
I was using 3 radiators (360, 240, 140) WB to the cpu (1055t) and a Rx 480 full waterblock
It's an Asus ROG Strix Z-370 E so it's a low end gaming board coupled with a i5 8th Gen 4 core CPU base clock of 4.1 and OC'd to 4.5 stable... So far lol.
I dont have a way to show CPU fan speed while running. The CD that came with the MoBo has a utility I used to use no longer works. Called PC Probe II. I get an error when I try to reload it and it says "ACPI driver failed to load. PC Probe does not support this model." I guess who ever made the software for the MoBo took it back.
I learn a lot by reading these posts. I own an I.T. company, but only work with other businesses and rarely ever touch hardware. I think I will build my next computer. The last computer I built was top of the line "in its day" it had a quad core processor and a 660ti card! It actually still works!
It's fun to build your own. I haven't bought a pc from a store since the mid 80's.
With the modern BIOS and UEFI, things are much easier now, I think.
Recently I've opted to just change out some hardware and not do a complete new build and it's still fun.
Enjoy!
If and when you upgrade, i'll buy your old parts off of you if you're willing to work out a decent deal.
Was doing some tests yesterday in the game while running that app CPUID and also the CORE TEMP app. Notices the game was running real laggy. Guessing having those processes running in the background takes up vital memory timing. Anyway, wass keeping an eye on CPU temps which for this 6 core CPU was average and dont cause me issues. But what I am wanting was more horsepower with the 8 core.
Looking at the CPUID sheet after game and saw that the case fan had been running at over 2600 RPM and the CPU fan got up to only 1350 RPM. The CPU fan has been set to at least 800 RPM while at idle. Need to get that CPU fan to run faster.

Was doing some game testing flying around with Raynet in his helo this morning. Only about 10 people where in game. Seeing 130 FPS while flying so game looked really smooth.
Here is a pic of the CPUID test after game. Notice the CPU fan at low RPMs.

It lets me set the minimum speed. I've put in 600 RPM. But the other selection for fan speeds are quiet, standard and turbo. I've got turbo speed selected.
This is only for my old 6 core processor. It's when I put in the 8 core that it overheats and bogs down the game from low FPS. I see this screen shot shows the CPU socket temps also of which i was not aware of.
Put my new 8 core processor back in this morning. After rearranging the power cables so the air from the front doesn't block as it moves toward the CPU heat sink. Played a round with Welfed and had no FPS hickups. Just marginal increase in FPS.
Here is a CPUID report showing all is good. I guess.
