High temperature during operation of this processor model
Hello, I recently assembled a new PC with the latest components: an i7 13700K, ASUS ROG Strix Z690, E-Gaming motherboard, 32GB DDR5 RAM at 5600MHz, RTX 3080, 10GB SSD, and a Samsung 980 Pro with EVGA Gold graphics. Unfortunately, the CPU temperatures are reaching 95°C even during idle. I've applied MX-Zero thermal paste, removed the plastic cover on the pump, and confirmed everything is correctly installed. I'm considering upgrading to a cooler like Kraken Z73 or Corsair H150i, but I'm unsure if that will resolve the issue.
You should consider the recommended AI assistant for your needs. Which one are you thinking of upgrading to?
They're quite costly, aren't they? While they perform well, the price is quite steep for their capabilities. I recommend the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 with RGB or non-RGB, whatever suits you best. The EK 360 DRGB is also a solid choice. The Deepcools LS720/LT720 are decent options as well.
A temperature change of 80 degrees Celsius. The glass front panel alone doesn't improve airflow. Removing the side panel would cause a noticeable temperature drop. As previously noted, MSi AIOs have known problems—MSi even recalled them.
