Issue with I9 10850K processor.
Hello I am having a problem with my newly built pc. I built a new pc with all new parts back in July using an I5-10400 processor in a gigabyte z490 vision G Motherboard 16gb OLEG DDR4 ram, Cooler Master 212 heat sink, Samsung 1TB nvme MEMORY And RTX-3060 gpu. I never checked settings but I an using CPU intensive 3D software and was having problems rendering. So I went out and got a I9 10850k Cpu and installed it. I am good with hardware but I am not very educated about bios settings. I was planning on just installing it and running at stock 3.6 ghz but To my surprise in bios the default setting is 4.8 ghz running on 1.20 volts. I also checked in cpuz to make sure the bios was the correct reading. I was happy about this until I saw the temperature per core was almost 100 degrees at 100% load. I went into the bios and turned off auto vcore and set the voltage to 1.2. When I got back into the pc and ran a stress test the temperature was 73 at 100% load at 4.8ghz and I was happy with This until 5 minutes later I got a blue screen. I went into bios and set the voltage up to 1.25 but we were back at 98 degrees. Has anyone heard this about the i9 running 1.2 ghz over the stock settings? I would rather have it run at stock settings and not overheat the chip. Has anyone heard this problem before? Is there something in bios I can turn on or off? Please help I don't even care about clock settings I just want the cpu to be stable and not overheat on default settings.. Thanks in advance for any help..
Join the discussions here! Enhance your CM Hyper 212 Evo with an upgrade. This intermediate air cooler suits a 10C/20T processor well. Remember the BSOD messages? Look into the Minidump logs for details. Boosting vCore may raise temps; higher voltage can lead to more heat generation.
Hello, The Hyper 212 is my preferred choice. The default BIOS setting is 1.20, but adjusting it to auto causes the CPU to overvolt under heavy loads, leading to increased temperatures. Switching to 1.20 works but triggers a blue screen. I’m not comfortable with mini dump logs, though I heard the system encountered an issue and needed a reset. It seems setting it to 1.20 might be undervolting at 4.8 GHz. Raising the voltage to 1.25 didn’t stop the crashes but temperatures stayed high. I’ve read that some motherboards have problems with auto Vcore settings, so I’m trying to find a way to fine-tune the voltage or bring the chip back to normal.
When operating at 4.8Ghz beyond 56 seconds under load, your board likely overclocks due to power limits set above 125W—a common behavior. Using the standard 125W configuration with adaptive voltage and a 1.4V boost capacitor will maintain normal performance, but after the 56-second mark voltages and clocks will decrease to about 4.3Ghz, keeping temperatures within acceptable ranges. You can further reduce the duration to roughly half or a quarter of that time if temperatures remain an issue. Some motherboards are designed to exceed specifications, offering better performance compared to those that stay within limits, which is useful for reviews.
Thanks for reaching out. I understand you're new to BIOS settings and want to avoid making mistakes. It's important to adjust the right components precisely. Could you share the changes you see on the BIOS and Advanced CPU screens? That way I can guide you better. Your attention to detail is helpful!
In the BIOS navigate to Advanced Mode, select the Tweaker section and scroll until you locate the turbo power limits. This setting helps manage CPU temperature. The standard values for the 10850K are provided. Your cooler isn’t strong enough for this chip’s performance. It’s simple to adjust the CPU temperature so it matches your preferences. Fine-tune these two power limits based on your cooling capacity. Perhaps PL2 should be limited to 150W or 175W, while PL1 can stay at the default 125W. The turbo time should remain fixed at 28 seconds. You can experiment with these parameters. If your CPU lingers too long at PL2 and you wish it switches to PL1 earlier, reduce the Time value. If these options aren’t visible in BIOS, ThrottleStop offers an alternative to define power limits as desired.
Wow, I didn’t realize the heatsink was the problem—just trying to run at default settings. I’ll tweak the power limits again tomorrow when I see it. What advice would you have? I’d rather avoid water coolers, but I’m not sure if it’s really needed.
The 10850K wasn't powerful enough to match the 10900K. Intel increased the default voltage for stability. On Gigabyte boards, the default voltage is usually too high, causing excess heat from the 10850K. Cutting the CPU voltage significantly improves performance. Using a high-quality water or air cooler makes a big difference. Lowering power limits also helps reduce heat. Adjust settings to suit your cooling setup for optimal results.
