AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and Ryzen 9 7900X Review

CPU Temperatures

Our CPU temperature testing is a juxtaposition between best and worst case scenarios. We run a seriously heavyweight CPU cooler, which shows the best use case, and then torture the system for 30 minutes to get our peak reading. Otherwise known as the worst case scenario. Note that our overclock is always fine-tuning the volts in a way that a stock setup doesn’t, and thus usually ends up running cooler than stock.
