You're experiencing inconsistent results with your PC cooling and performance. It sounds like the issue is tied to specific games that trigger higher temperatures, while others don't. You've tried various adjustments like voltage tweaks and ASUS performance enhancements, but some settings caused significant drops in performance or stability. The Cinebench test shows temperatures spiking to 100°C before completion, suggesting your cooling system isn't handling the load well. The fact that you're using a 13600K with a high-end cooler and good ventilation is promising, but the problem might lie in how the system responds to demanding workloads. Consider testing with a different game or benchmark, and see if the issue persists. If it does, you might need to explore more advanced cooling solutions or firmware updates for your motherboard.
Are we discussing the TLOU PC version with shaders working? The cooler master 240ML isn’t ideal for AIO use. I tried a different thermal paste or reinstalled the cooler. You can also adjust the pump speed in the BIOS, which might improve performance.
A modified Minecraft setup usually works fine if you only reach 100°C during testing, but that’s often due to user mistakes. If you need maximum CPU load, consider a better cooler and ensure fresh airflow. It’s likely you’re not pushing cold air through the 240mm fan at full speed, which explains the overheating.
Examine the contact frame design. 12th and 13th generation Intel chips experience bending from the socket latch, causing concavity. This leads to suboptimal contact in the middle of the chip, especially near the hottest area. The contact frame serves as a replacement for the socket latch, applying pressure across all four corners and eliminating bending. This improves the connection between CPU and cooler significantly. A video demonstrating this can be found online.
Cooler Master offers tools to monitor loop temperatures. Many users, including Corsair, utilize this feature and adjust fan speeds accordingly compared to CPU temps. Replacing standard fans with higher CFM models, such as Noctua, often improves cooling performance. I personally replaced my 240mm Corsair fans with high CFM Noctua units and noticed a 15-degree drop in temperature.
Hogwarts legacy and Call of Duty are both in play. The pump speed is default at 100%. It jumps to 85-95°C right when the benchmark begins...the cooler can't finish its task. Once the benchmark ends, it drops back to 30s in seconds. I'm planning to get a cooler soon. I was thinking about undervolting first since some users say it works well.
You're seeing a thermal paste gap between the block and CPU, which means the block isn't making direct contact with the CPU. The cooler's thermal mass helps avoid sudden temperature changes, so without proper contact, the temperature will rise quickly.
Identified the issue. The CPU specifications are PL1 181w, PL2 181W, with a current limit of 410a. The default MB settings are PL1 253w, PL2 300w and a limit of 511.75. Updated the values and the CPU maintained stable temperatures at 90-93°C during Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes.
Many makers overlook the power requirements, boosting performance slightly if cooling handles it. Nice discovery. Does your cinebench rating match expectations?
Adjusting the settings further. Temperature is reduced and Cinebench score improved. Present configurations are CPU Core/Cache Current Limit max. - 511.25 Long duration package power cap (PL1) - 190 Short duration package power cap (PL2)- 190 Core voltage offset -0.15
