Introduction : About a week ago now, my CPU started idling around 60-70C with nothing open. It used to be around 50C - I have sufficient airflow in my case (Meshify C). I don’t remember installing any programs or updates around this time - in fact I think it started while I was in the middle of using the computer. It had been running fine for around a year. Problem : When I boot into Windows, all fans ramp up to full for a bit, then calm down. My idle temperature with nothing open is 60-70C, and maxes out at 80C if I put it under load. When I open some applications, the fans ramp up to full for a bit So far, I have: Reseated CPU/AIO Dusted my computer Replaced thermal paste (MX-4) Reset BIOS Cleared CMOS Done a fresh install (where it was still overheating before installing anything) Run Windows Memory Diagnostics (no problems) Changed power plan to balanced Run chkdsk (no problems) Other Information When in Safe Mode, the fans don’t run as high (so I assume that the temperature is fine, but I can’t tell because monitors don’t work) I didn’t have temperature problems in Ubuntu MATE when I checked with lm-sensors I have no overclocks except for XMP on the RAM System Specs Ryzen 9 5900X NViDIA RTX 3070 MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon WiFi MSI CoreLiquid 360R 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro Sabrent Rocket 4 (500GB) Windows 11 Pro (22000.434)

This last update destroyed my PC!!!!! Straight after the update the PC rebooted and after about 2 minutes the fans all came on full and the PC rebooted itself. It was still booting up and it switched off. Now it won't even switch on to BIOS, CPU is toast. Microsoft are a bunch of imbeciles!

Upgraded from W10 to W11 last week, temperature constantly over 70C (even when doing nothing), over 90C at high load and battery duration down as well. I already have VT-d disabled in bios and none of the other proposed solutions works for me. Suboptimal experience with W11 in that respect so far, Microsoft please fix this!

I am experiencing the same issue. Prior to the update of Windows 11 on July 20th, my CPU was idling at 45C-50C on power saving mode at approx 2.2Ghz.

When attempting to get answers from Microsoft, all I receive are generic responses such as, make sure there aren't too many apps running in the background, make sure there is proper airflow, no dust etc. These are not the case.

CPU Overheating in Windows 11

Anonymous

Introduction:

About a week ago now, my CPU started idling around 60-70C with nothing open. It used to be around 50C - I have sufficient airflow in my case (Meshify C). I don’t remember installing any programs or updates around this time - in fact I think it started while I was in the middle of using the computer. It had been running fine for around a year.

Problem:

When I boot into Windows, all fans ramp up to full for a bit, then calm down.
My idle temperature with nothing open is 60-70C, and maxes out at 80C if I put it under load.
When I open some applications, the fans ramp up to full for a bit

So far, I have:

Reseated CPU/AIO
Dusted my computer
Replaced thermal paste (MX-4)
Reset BIOS
Cleared CMOS
Done a fresh install (where it was still overheating before installing anything)
Run Windows Memory Diagnostics (no problems)
Changed power plan to balanced
Run chkdsk (no problems)

Other Information

When in Safe Mode, the fans don’t run as high (so I assume that the temperature is fine, but I can’t tell because monitors don’t work)
I didn’t have temperature problems in Ubuntu MATE when I checked with lm-sensors
I have no overclocks except for XMP on the RAM
