Perfectly normal. This is a CPU-only process.
it made my cpu go up to 94 degrees celsius
In short - the CPU cooling is inadequate here.
The tJunction temp for the i7-10700k is 100C. This generally means that you must do everything you can to keep it under 90C if you want preserve longevity. It may be fine to spike to 100C every now and then but keeping it there will shorten the lifespan of that chip. Above 100C it will throttle and this is a critical, very unsafe point.
You want a cooling solution that will keep that CPU at 80C at 100% utilisation for hours and in the middle of the summer heat to boot. Not the easiest task but a bigger, meaner fan will do the job.
Before you splash out:
- clean the fins on the radiator
- get rid of the dust and dust bunnies
- ensure the air is moving unobstructed and in the right direction, pulled from one side and pushed to the other
- ensure the fans that are supposed spin do so
- crank up the case fans if possible
- are we sure the thermal paste is doing its job?
If you’re using liquid cooling, this temp is not acceptable at all.
Imagine what would happen inside the case if both the CPU and GPU were under 100% load for a prolonged time.
