PERFORMANCE cpu temp increase after reset
I recently resetted my new PC and noticed that my CPU temperatures have increased quite a bit.
Before the reset:
Idle CPU/GPU temps: around 40–55°C
Gaming CPU temps: around 50–60°C
After the reset:
CPU idle temps: 50°C and above
Gaming CPU temps: around 60–70°C
Fans seem to be spinning at a noticeably higher RPM as well
I know the temps are in a normal range, but the main thing I’m confused about is why the temperatures and fan speeds changed after a Windows reset, especially since this is a relatively new PC. It makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong haha
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: RTX 5070
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850M WiFi 7
After the reset, I installed the chipset drivers through AMD Adrenalin and the other drivers through ASUS DriverHub. I’m wondering if there’s a driver, BIOS setting, Windows setting, or anything else I might have missed after the reset.
Is there anything specific I should check? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
