PowerSpec G757 9800X3D very hot

howierr

Hi, I purchased my G757 in November 2025. I have been playing Path of Exile 2 recently, and I have noticed my 9800X3D gets very hot while playing PoE2. Today it hit a max of 92.8C. Is this normal? It seems quite high. Is there any way to lower the temperature? The case fans are also working very hard, and the PC is very loud while playing PoE2.

It's a little high, but it's boosting so not really an issue. 5.2GHz. You can also see POE is pretty CPU intensive, you're drawing an extra 20W's. What you can do is go into the BIOS and set your AIO pump header to full speed. See if that decreases it a bit.

When I play Battlefield 6 it only goes up to 84.4 C.

I increased the AIO pump header and also undervolted the CPU slightly, now the temperatures have stayed around 70C in PoE2 and only 65C in BF6. CPU Package power only maxes out around 100W in PoE2 and only 91W in BF6 now.

Thanks for the help!

Undervolting is a good idea, and the 9800X3D's are crazy. You probably just run -25-30 all core and get away with it.
