100°C I5-10400F
Hello! It seems your CPU temperature spikes to 100°C right after launching games. Benchmarks show it jumps to that level instantly, then drops to around 50°C once idle. There are no slowdowns or frame drops, and the shutdown isn’t happening. You’ve maxed the fan speed at 70°C, but results haven’t improved. The cooler you installed looks correctly positioned, and you followed the mounting guide. GPU temperature peaks at 85°C. I’m worried it might be a faulty hardware monitor reading. Would changing the cooling solution help? Thanks for your help!
You should consider a better cooler if you've already tried reinstalling and reapplying it. Which part of the world are you from? That helps narrow down the suggestions. The readings are low, but I question if the temperature sensors are being misled by the software.
I’d choose the Arctic Freezer 34 for gaming: https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/cqCD...cfre00057a
It’s an unusual pick, but a fresh cooler definitely helps.
It doesn’t look right. You’re testing it without the side panel on, but the temperatures remain elevated.
Well, the cooler looks insufficient: it should function but at high temperatures around 100°C the throttling will happen, likely regardless of sensor readings. A more suitable cooler could be beneficial. You might find the CPU cooler height compatibility information on the manufacturer's homepage—it should be available there.
The high temperatures suggest your cooling system might be misconfigured or completely failing.
The link should work. I'll revise it once I receive it, unless another reply appears.
