CPU burner FurMark sends I13900K to 100°C immediately
I received a new prebuilt PC and tested the CPU burner in FurMark to check its cooling performance. It reaches up to 100°C almost immediately. I found a video from a year ago that shows similar results, which makes me a bit concerned. My CPU is currently at 42°C while the browser runs, whereas these older machines hit under 40°C during tests. Is this CPU unusually hot, or could there be an issue with the build? The cooling solution is a CM MasterLiquid ML360, so I expected strong performance. I contacted the builder via support but also considered asking here.
I don’t have access to external links or specific PC details. Could you provide more information or clarify what you need?
The top option is available, though it seems you might have placed your order too late. Your current setup uses DDR4, while they’re offering DDR5 now.
The 13900k demands an extremely powerful cooling solution and a standard ML360 won’t suffice due to insufficient fans. If your build lacks proper airflow, it’s likely to cause major issues.

Without adjusting the voltage or employing extreme cooling methods, the 13900K struggles to stay cool. Many users faced thermal throttling issues, even with larger AIOs like 360mm or 420mm. Consider trying a voltage offset undervolt—some chips handle -100mV well, though it depends on the silicon. Even smaller reductions like -50mV or -25mV can make a difference.
Perfect fit for a 13900k. Standard setup will push toward thermal caps before slowing. Adjust UEFI parameters to avoid this, or consider extreme solutions like an LGA1700 frame, liquid metal, IHS polishing, direct die cooling, etc.
Looking at the upgrade path, enhancing the cooler seems like the most sensible choice. Perhaps I can tackle the issue by swapping components—like replacing the CPU with BuildRedux if they include a cooler that fits it. It’s a bit uncertain, but I’ve handled similar situations before and thought it would be manageable.
I’m new to this process. I’ve assembled my own PCs before, but I haven’t worked on configuring them. I’ll need to research the steps and try it out.
