package temp is the temperature which the material which holds the processor (the base with all the contacts and circuitry and the heatspreader) is at. If that is at 100C, then the chip itself is likely to be hotter. Back it down to 45 until you get a better cooler. 100C is acceptable, if hot, for GPUs, but for processors its almost dangerously hot.Originally Posted by Aranock21;13057866
Switched it to 46 multi, but hit a cpu package temp of 100 so i stopped the test. Is the CPU package similar to the Tjmax, or am i crazy?
What would be a good temp to be at?Originally Posted by Cyrious;13057964

What were you running when you had those temps?
If it's prime or Linpack, then its fine. If it's normal programs or games, then it's too high.
You need to keep in mind that Prime and Linpack (AVX) temps are simply unrealistic for normal system usage, and if your temps are 90C in prime, you should try to get better cooling, but it does NOT mean that your temps in games or regular pgorams are going to be bad. When a game or renderer/ripper exceeds 80C, THEN you have reason for alarm. But you definitely shouldn't be running stress tests at higher than 85C, though, especially when overvolted.
