Curious about the CPU, cooler, and temperatures during Cinebench and gaming. My rig runs a 11700f, reaching high temps while drawing 200 watts without power caps. I'm using a -40 voltage offset in Cinebench R20 with throttle stop, hitting around 80°C with a scythe Fuma 2 in a quiet 500dx case and five quiet fans. For gaming, I haven't seen anything exceed 70°C, and performance has been solid with no issues. What are others experiencing on their setups?
That is a normal operating temperature for an Intel CPU. Nothing to worry about. Intel sets the thermal throttling temperature to 100°C to protect their CPUs against any damage due to heat. You have lots of headroom. It is wonderful that you can run your 11700F at close to 200W. Great work! The default 65W TDP limit that Intel recommends for these powerful CPUs is a joke. With decent cooling you have learned that the 10700F is capable of so much more. No one worries about running their 11700K or 11900K at 200W so no need for you to worry that this is too much for your 11700F. Your 11700F, the 11700K and the 11900K are all the same under the skin. Different retail boxes is the only significant difference.
It's typical for the 11700 to deliver high power when enabled. The data shows Gamers Nexus recorded 190W from the base 11700K until the turbo boost time ended.
I’m not concerned about the power rating or temperatures I’m experiencing. The device operates smoothly and cooler than expected with this model. No issues reported—just more interest in how other users handle different coolers.
The readings you're observing are within normal ranges. The latest generation models run hotter compared to previous ones. For instance, the eight-core 11900k matches or surpasses the 10900k from the tenth generation thermally, but with fewer cores.
To get the best performance, you can eliminate the Boost duration caps. This allows the 11700F to reach up to 4.4GHz. When the limits are active, it may drop to around 2.9GHz depending on the board, since power is capped at 65W.
