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)

Different causes can lead to overheating problems in the CPU. Like Faulty CPU Fans, Blocked Ventilation, Low Fan Speed, Inefficient Thermal Paste, and Software Issues. I guess you should take a look at these for your overheating problem and fix them. I think this might help https://cyberxgaming.com/cpu-suddenly-overheating/ Cheers!!

I had the same problem. I found the problem went away if I throttled my CPU to 99%. If I put it to 100% the CPU often overheats and shuts down my system. To throttle: Start>Search bar enter "Edit power plan">Change advanced power settings>Processor power management>Maximum processor state>Plugged in: 99%. Solved the issue for me. Running Asus Vivobook 16, Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon Graphics @ 3.30 GHz

Apparently it was just a coincidence that my mobo began to malfunction, switched back to windows 10 with a clean install and was still having the same issue. Switched to a new motherboard with a fresh install of windows 11 and everything is running beautifully.

Hello Igor, my name is ramy and also my CPU is over heating without opening any programs and the temperature decreases when I turn off the internet how can I fix this problem?

CPU Overheating in Windows 11

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
