@Malek86 thanks, Malek! That’s really useful info and puts my mind at ease. I thought the overall temp is indeed the highest of all the cores, and that confirms it.

I let Prime95 run a torture test for 10mins and it capped at 80deg which sounds right, but a play of Cyberpunk and I saw a max temp of 90deg which was more of a worry. Hopefully just a one-off spike.

There is an issue with Cyberpunk whereby it doesn't utilise all of the threads available on Ryzen processors properly. I have the fan curve on my CPU set to increase at 70c and Cyberpunk was the first game I'd played since upgrading in October to push the CPU above 70c under load - it is particularly bad in the parts of the game whilst you are driving around.

Hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch by CDPR, although there is a user-created fix available now (it involves using a Hex editor on the .exe file).
