Performance metrics during high demand
Performance metrics during high demand
Hello, your system sounds stable at 82°C during the stress test, which is good. However, considering your specs—an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11700K at 3.60GHz—it’s worth double-checking if heat buildup is a concern. Have you looked into thermal performance or cooling solutions for this model?
The 11700 tends to heat up more than most devices. Because a laptop is limited in space, it will get even hotter. Some references say 95-100°C is typical, so 82°C isn't too extreme. My 5900X reaches 87°C during a stress test. Updated June 1, 2022 by An0maly_76 Added more details

Around 82°C during the CPU-Z stress test is typical and not unusually high. It’s safe—no major concerns. Intel engineers craft these CPUs to handle elevated temperatures, so they usually cap thermal throttling at about 100°C per core. This built-in protection helps avoid long-term harm.
System specifications – this machine is built for heavy RAM usage and handling big data files. It runs smoothly during analysis tasks and casual gaming, though it’s not very demanding on resources. Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Version 10.0.22000, Build 22000. Manufacturer: OriginPC. System Model: EON17-X. Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz, 3600 MHz, 8 cores, 16 logical processors. BIOS: INSYDE Corp., version 1.07.08, TOPC, SMBIOS 3.3, SMBIOS 3.3, embedded controller 7.04. RAM installed: 64 GB. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 4 GB memory, plus two 1 TB SSDs (possibly Corsair). RAID 0 setup is in use. I’ve noticed random freezes lasting 60–90 seconds, making the system unresponsive. I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and found no errors. Another scan tool was available but needs overnight testing from USB. I experienced shutdowns during League of Legends due to overheating, so I’ve been trying slight undervolting to lower temperatures. A minor voltage reduction cut CPU temps from 90–92°C to around 83°C on the CPUZ test.
It seems to be a hardware problem rather than a memory concern. Verify if a newer BIOS release exists.
Thanks for the guidance. I’ll look into the bios tomorrow. The memtest86 should confirm whether there are any errors, and I suspect the SSD might be the problem. It’s possible the freezes are linked to the RAID setup—though it seems odd since RAID speeds up read/write operations. I’m trying to understand the difference between Intel RST and AHCI better; while RST is faster, some users claim it can cause issues. Using AHCI might help, but I’m not sure if it would fix the freeze problem unless the SSD itself is faulty.
