Hi guys!!
I haven't had 9950 for too long – roughly 6 months. I never noticed it go this high to be fair. I stream in 2K on dual 4K monitors with very intensive apps running in the background but I never thought it would go this high! I was streaming a more cpu intensive game today. I also wanted to add I very recently upgraded my motherboard (Dark Hero). Do you think it's normal with my setup?
Would you recommend any better cooling for this monster? The fans and pump are already set to 100% if the CPU hits above 70°C. Thermal paste used Grizzly Kryonaut TG-K-001-RS.
My current cooler is SO cheap imo but everybody keeps recommending it for the 9950!

Edit: Damn guys you got me a bit worried now 🙁 The CPU and cooler are definitely in correctly, no stickers, perfect amount of paste that was applied just last month. It was built by a very trusted professional that I hired, then double checked by me and my friend. Now I wonder if either one is faulty and how to check for it 😵💫
