    High Temperature on Threadripper 3960x

    Hi Friends, I created a new build and seeing 45C idle with spikes to 60C even if i open couple of tabs of chrome. I did a render test on DaVinci resolve and hit 95C in 5 minutes. AIDA64 hits 95C in 2 minutes. For the DaVinci resolve, i opened side panel and pointed a giant room fan at CPU...
