Yeah, you don't want to hit 90 degrees on Zen. Unlike many other CPUs, max stable frequency on Zen clearly decreases with high temps. Time to build a water loop

re: idle, you do have pstates enabled, right? ("Cool'n'Quiet") firmware likes to disable it when you overclock in the setup screen, have to turn it back on
- jrockway 6y agoYup. Hitting 90C is basically what limits the top speed, so I know that better cooling might help. I do have pstates enabled. Power and frequency scale up as you'd expect, in response to system load.
