Intel i9 10900k overheating problem with unlocked status and unstable speed changes.
Start the complete rendering process without stopping it if you notice a temperature rise. Your processor can lower its speed and cool down when necessary. Ensure you select only one loop for optimal performance. I’m checking how well your CPU handles the task.
I believe your AIO pump might be faulty. Running a multi-core test for 10 minutes could pose risks. The CPU temperature has reached 100°C within a minute, which is concerning.
My single core score is slightly lower than anticipated but still within normal range. Avoid running it for ten minutes; try just one loop. Yes, I think AIO is no longer functioning. It seems the CPU will automatically reduce its clock speed to maintain safe temperatures, which explains the peak at 100 and the lower single-core result. After checking, your CPU thermal limit is confirmed at 100°C. There’s a 95% chance this indicates a faulty AIO pump. If possible, return it for repair, otherwise consider a quality air cooler instead of an AIO.
