I think I got a serious prob with my CPU. It's 81?C (178?F) on idle.

Grandizer, Bourne... I had the same problem of my CPU being very hot, and I put it down to the stock heatsink/fan and thermal paste provided, it just aint good! Whats probably happened is the thermal paste is all over the place and its not created a good enough conductor - wrong words used but you get me?!

My advice would be to invest in a new heatsink/fan - a decent one too.

I bought a Zalman CNP9500 and it bought my temperature from 55C down to 35C

Thnx. Yesterday I did a virus scan, and it caused mt cpu temp to spike to 91C.

insanekiwi said in a different topic if your CPU goes about 90?C, your CPU will shutdown. How come that didn't happen to you?:wacko:: . Or did it?

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
