The user ran AIDA64’s FPU workload together with FurMark for 100 percent CPU utilization during the benchmark. This might seem extreme, but keep in mind that they’re using a 240mm AIO liquid cooling setup. Comparable processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (which has 6 more physical cores and 12 more threads) don’t break a sweat under similar cooling, delivering sub-80 degree temps, even when overclocked.
