I have a 9800x3d and with an NH-D15 g2 cooler it peaks in temp in like the low 80s. 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.
How are you achieving that?
Oversized coolers. I built a PC in 2017 and put a 120x360 AIO cooler in it, at full load and the fans going full speed the CPU sits at 65-70c.
So you’re not trying to chill a modern CPU then?
My latest build is a 9800x3d, and like fuckwit said, it’s pretty easy to keep cool, even at full load.

Throttling, probably.
