I5-13600K reaches 100°C and experiences thermal throttling during Cinebench tests.
What situation are we discussing? A poorly ventilated hot box can definitely mess with your temperatures, even with a D15 rating.
Replace the cooler and verify the bracket is securely fastened throughout. Ensure all screws are tightened fully. Remove any residual paste before applying fresh adhesive.
ensure the d15 supports 175-200 watts under load, verify the actual consumption during maximum usage.
Sure, the cooler looks promising despite the higher wattage. I expected newer Intel chips to handle around 300W, but since it's a six-core unit, it should perform well. Others suggested reinstalling the cooler and securing everything tightly—it makes a big difference, especially with the Noctua models you like. The stock paste usually works fine, though it might need a second application if it’s pre-applied. I noticed the Noctua and MX4 pastes are quite similar, so mixing them was a simple fix last time. It seems the issue isn’t with the paste at all.
It might be a defective unit. The production issue could have affected this model, so consider ordering a new one.
Installed fresh thermal paste (previously used MX-4) and reattached the Noctua NH-D15. Adhered to the guide carefully, ensuring all components were secured. Still experiencing identical temperatures. When launching Cinebench with the i5-13600k, it instantly reaches 100°C and remains there. Uncertain about the cause. Verified fan curves in BIOS – appear correct and intended for maximum performance.
