How long does Geekbench take to run? Long enough to reach thermal equilibrium?


Only a few minutes. And likely not.

On my 10980xe it will cause the CPU to reach peak temperatures for 30s or so but only during specific workloads. Typically those utilising AVX-512.


Geekbench is designed to measure CPU burst speeds, not to measure cooling systems. By design it does not run long enough to test the thermal situation.
