CPU burner FurMark sends I13900K to 100°C immediately
Generally run at full power, add efficient fans such as Arctic P12s with undervolt settings on the 13900K, and it should operate smoothly around 90°C. It's marketed for gaming use, so avoid pushing the CPU to 100% unless necessary. Rendering videos or similar tasks can cause it to hit 100% and then throttle performance.
This Amazon.com listing describes the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 as a versatile all-in-one CPU AIO water cooler. It supports both Intel and AMD processors, features an efficient PWM-controlled pump with adjustable fan speeds ranging from 200 to 1800 RPM, and is compatible with LGA1700 sockets. The black model offers good value for the price.
JayzTwoCents created a video around the time the 12th gen was released, making it easy for beginners. He explains the BIOS settings first, then focuses on using Intel XTU to fine-tune performance, which is handy for getting results. I suggest locking in the undervolt in the BIOS so you don’t constantly switch back to XTU, but XTU is much more intuitive than editing BIOS settings repeatedly.
I adjusted my 5900X with Curve Optimizer and it now consistently hits 4.95GHz in games. Using AutoOC gave occasional boosts above 5GHz but wasn't reliable. The performance stayed similar, but the CPU used less power and stayed cooler. Graphics cards behaved the same. I found that undervolting my 2060 Super provides more stable boosts thanks to GPU boost mechanics. Keeping the card cooler with an undervolt lets it run at 1950MHz longer. With OC, it sometimes reached 2100MHz but dropped as temps rose. Overall, both methods gave similar results, but the undervolt saved power and kept temperatures down. Why pick the first option when a second exists?
You can see the RTX 4000 getting overclocked. They usually stay within voltage and power limits as if they're factory undervolted. The RTX 4090, if you boost the wattage and voltage with a slight core adjustment, could reach incredible speeds—almost like going to the moon. It’s the simplest GPU overclocking I’ve ever tried.
Thanks for the update. I noticed a few security and BIOS adjustments I didn’t recognize. I located the settings in the BIOS and tweaked my Cinebench score while lowering temperatures with a CPU setting of -75mV. Still, I’m consistently hitting 100°C in Cinebench, which suggests I might need better cooling or a more efficient setup. This means I’m likely looking for additional fans or a new all-in-one unit.
