Hey there! I just switched to an i9-13900K and it definitely gets warmer than my old CPU. I’m a bit concerned about temperature changes and wanted to know if others notice this or if I’m just panicking over every tiny detail. I checked HWINFO for around 10 minutes while typing this up. The package temperature jumped from 28 to 44 while doing almost nothing—average came out to 30. With three SL-INF fans on the radiator in a “push air outside the case” setup, it’s a bit unusual but not necessarily alarming. How do you feel about it?

Execute Prime95 or Cinebench to observe CPU temperatures during stress. This will give you the accurate figure to examine in idle or simple operations.

your mainboard runs the cpu at full speed without power caps. adjust the maximum current to 307a, set PL1 to 125w and PL2 to 253w according to intel guidelines. typically most boards allow up to 400a with PL1 and PL2 around 4000w. you can experiment with a slight voltage reduction of about 50µv to see if performance improves.

It looks like the approach is effective. I'll let it continue for a while, try a few games, and check if my temperatures return to what I'm used to or near. Thanks!
