Issues with CPU performance on stock configurations
Issues with CPU performance on stock configurations
It's strange given the temperature difference—outside is around -4°C while inside stays near 18-19°C. That doesn't seem likely to influence the result.
It seems the AIOs might not match the expected performance, indicating a possible problem with the setup.
I've had the cooler for a while now, and it has always been paired with that CPU.
Within under a year, yes—I actually replaced the CPU and double-checked the installation. It seems this only made the situation worse. After restarting AIDA, it jumped to 95 right after a few seconds, then stopped. The fans kept running, and it took about 2–3 minutes for it to settle, now idling around 60°C. I’m still unsure what’s going on.
It seems there might be an issue with contact quality, coolant circulation, or excessive CPU load affecting the cooler. I'm not certain.
I watched clips of this aio i7-12700ks working perfectly. For the connection, I secured all the bolts at their full capacity—they no longer accept any more torque.
