Ryzen 7 9700X – High Temps While Gaming

System

  • ASUS TUF B650-Plus WiFi
  • be quiet! Dark Rock 5
  • Mesh case: 3x intake + 1x exhaust
  • GPU capped to 93% PL (MSI AB)

Initial temps

  • Idle: 55–62°C
  • Gaming (Cyberpunk 2077 @ 80FPS): 85–95°C

Main issue found
The CPU cooler fan was connected to AIO_PUMP instead of CPU_FAN.

Fixes done

  • Connected cooler to CPU_FAN
  • Case fans → CHA_FAN
  • Reapplied thermal paste + reseated cooler
  • Set CPU fan to PWM mode
  • Enabled PBO ECO Mode (105W)
  • Curve Optimizer: Negative -20

Current temps

  • Idle: ~45–55°C
  • Gaming: 85–90°C typical
  • System is stable and quiet

So my question is , it is normal to play Cyberpunk at this temperatura? I did everything I found on th blogs or internet, It can be normal that temperatures to the next years? maybe I need to change the cooler? or add a Thermal Grizzly Contact Sealing Frame AM5??

I think you are okay with that -20
Its not amazing but very normal’ish.

Idle temps are a bit on the high side, but that will depend a lot on what you have running on the background. Many people will say, nothing to not much but I can assure you there are hidden stuff that can go amiss.

Example: Armoury Crate lighting service can use a variable CPU load on the background without you knowing,

Now, for the high temps, as long as you don’t throttle, you can survive just fine.

WHAT CAN INFLUENCE TEMPERATURES?

  • Your ambient temp is one, that’s why I like the winter. I can go as low as 30-35 idle on a 7950X. But I got a room temperature of 17ºC right now.
  • Case, but you mentioned a mesh case so that’s a good thing.
  • GPU will affect your CPU temps as the hot air rises and saturates the cooler above, unfortunately, that’s something you can only avoid using a watercooler.
    Undervolt your GPU if you can, less temps more perf!
  • Is it on the ground or on a desk? Having it up in an uncluttered space free of obstacles can be beneficial.
  • Increase a tad on the RPMs without sacrificing too much the noise maybe? A custom fan curve can help.

LAST resort?

You can add offset undervolt to the CO or just go and try -30 if its stable.

About ECOmode 105… isn’t the 9700X a 65TDP Part? If you use 105TDP you’ll get more performance and higher temperatures. Well I’m not super sure on this but …

Good Luck
