I upgraded with an i5 13600k, Gigabyte Z690 MOBO, and Peerless Assassin 120 cooler. My temps sit in the 90s during Core-Temp and Furmark tests. My VID stays near 1.07-1.2 and occasionally reaches about 1.3 under load briefly—definitely not the issue. I adjusted the fan speed in BIOS to full and didn’t notice a drop in temperature when it started up loudly. I expected better cooling, but it still isn’t working as well as hoped. Any advice to help lower the temps?

You worry about experiencing 90°C temperatures when using fully synthetic loads.

However, even during gameplay such as Warhammer 3, temperatures may reach 80-89 degrees.

Consider reattaching the cooler and performing a refinish. Ensure both fans are installed correctly to avoid mistakes.

You can adjust settings such as clock speed to a lower level if needed.

Something is definitely wrong here, I just went onto RPCS3 and my temperatures went into the 90s. I paid my local PC store to install my stuff for me, how can I know if my CPU cooler is fit properly or not?

I haven’t handled the cooler before, which makes me nervous about doing it myself. I need to be sure it’s installed correctly.

Linus discovered the skewed heatpipe layout acts as a strong support for thermals alongside the top-down air cooling in the Nvidia Founders Edition GPU.
