High idle temperatures, Intel 9900K and 360 AIO
I noticed your recent challenges with overheating after upgrading to a deepcool 360 AIO. The high idle temps you're experiencing are definitely noticeable compared to your previous setup. It sounds like the increased thermal output from the new cooler and added FPU is pushing the CPU closer to its limits. You've adjusted the voltage manually to around 1.25V, which helped stabilize temperatures during stress tests, but it's still a bit high for sustained performance. If you're aiming to push to 5GHz, you might want to explore lower voltages or check if your motherboard supports higher frequencies safely. Also, ensure the airflow is optimal and consider cleaning the fans if needed. Let me know if you'd like tips on voltage tuning or cooling alternatives!
