8700k processor at 95°C performance rating, rated 4.7 stars on Cinebench H150i test.
I've attempted to boost my 8700k using a h150i cooler and thermal paste applied yesterday, but the temperature spikes to dangerous levels—90-100°C during full load on Cinebench. Corsair ICUE reports the pump is active and it feels cool, though I can't confirm if it's actually vibrating. With these components, reaching a safe 80°C seems challenging. What could help?
Intel processors tend to get warm, especially during heavy use. My 8th gen i7 stays around 80-90 degrees under load even with lower clock speeds. It's normal behavior, not an unusual or surprising thing.
It seems the CPU usage is around 1.35, but it's changing after adjusting BIOS settings.
You're experiencing high temperatures (82-84°C) even at full load while running at 5.0GHz with 1.31V on the H100i V2. The issue might be related to airflow or voltage adjustments. Consider lowering your voltage slightly and try 4.8GHz instead, as that typically requires less voltage. Ensure your cooling system is functioning properly and all connections are secure.
I connect via Corsair link to manage the fans and pump for my CPU cooler...it functions smoothly: around 2000 RPM when quiet and about 3000 during performance...using quiet settings works perfectly fine.
Running Cinebench R20 on 4.9GHz 1.25v CPU core: It’s getting warm—maybe the OPs configuration isn’t ideal with my older H100iV2 cooler.
