Ryzen 7000 Rumored to run very Hot
Good proper cooling for the most high-end processors might be mandatory is the data below is correct.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X clocks in at ~5.0GHz on intense operations and could reach approximately 95 degrees, implying that the chip will require a powerful cooling solution to stay on its feet. The CPU uses up to 230 watts of power when fully loaded in the factory configuration. The Ryzen 5 7600X suffers from the same issue, using up to 120W of power at full load and reaching temperatures of up to 90 degrees, reports The heat generated by a PC, along with the temperature generated by the 7950X under heavy load, will be a major issue. The Ryzen 5 is no better, reaching 90 degrees with 120W.
Enthusiast Citizen, the leaker compared what was known about the 13th Generation Intel Core, also known as Raptor Lake. While Intel CPUs can take more power, 270W (vs. 230W), they can also maintain lower temperatures. Specifically, utilizing the same cooling mechanism as the Ryzen 9 7000, a maximum temperature of 82oC is achieved at full load, allowing all cores to be held at 5.30 GHz while still achieving full performance. Because the Zen 4 chipsets are smaller but denser than their predecessors, they will require extensive cooling. This appears to be one of the reasons why the chiplets are gold-plated, since gold efficiently repels the most heat. All of this implies that if consumers intend to create a PC using these AMD Ryzen 7000s, they need to invest in a robust, high-end AIO cooling if these rumors turn out to be correct.
DDR5-6000 Memory is the Sweet Spot For AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 CPUs (update) - 09/01/2022 08:54 AM

It could be a bios issue - the difference is huge - this can be easily fixed by an update.
As with all important launches there are a lot of rumors...
It will run hot because the heat dissipation area is smaller than what we have in Ryzen 5 and 5950X already runs very hot, the silicon is denser so by simple physics it will be hot - by how much? - we'll se when the first test with retail products and mature enough bios will appear.
I have a feeling that EK will launch soon an Delta² TEC CPU block for AMD also so that Intel could have some company....:p

4790K ran hot?
When running it stock with a dual 120 rad I didn't see it get near the max temperatures of my current CPU @ stock with a triple 120 rad.
Yes, it was barely 5c average cooler then a 4770k.
Without undervolting, my 4790k would hit 76c on just a 212 Evo stock clocks with 2 fans.
Ofcourse yours ran cool enough with a 240 rad.
Something needs to be done about the small size of CPUs and IHS.
Crazy that I can run my 1920x @ 4.1 pulling 235w with an air cooler and be under 70c with an air cooler but my 5600x with a full custom loop, 2 360 rads and a solid cpu block and i am hitting 53-63c under full load while only pushing 1.2v @ 4.7.

I remember when Intel fanboys where defending the use of Tim on Intel CPUs paroting the micro cracks story !
Fanboys in general will accept everything .

I saw many people just accept how hot this 4790k ran.
