Problem with the new PC experiencing severe performance issues.
Problem with the new PC experiencing severe performance issues.
If you're wondering about the temperatures during a SW test, I haven't really tried to do it myself. However, I thought it would be safe if I didn't actually apply pressure to the CPU while under heavy loads. I also checked HWINFO, and the maximum temperatures were 71 for the CPU package and 73 for the core max. The average for both stayed below 30.
I'm not certain what triggered it, but the software I used is this. If you're asking about the apps I was using, the ones I had running at once were: Mail App, several windows of VS Code, Zoom sessions, and Slack. I've checked that the usage stays below 7% consistently.

The process reached 100°C and was handled by Cinebench, which is expected since the software uses all available resources. The system had a high-performance tower cooler, but the 12900K, 13900K, and 14900K models still draw significant power and produce considerable heat even with liquid cooling. Did the PC experience freezing or noticeable slowdowns during the test?
I'm not sure if it improves the situation, but I only have three cheap case fans and no outtake fan, just a dual heatsink.
I took a short break because I noticed it was about ten minutes, but after four minutes I saw it (a few moments at the start and again near the end of the ten-minute clip). The PC didn't freeze, and the images weren't rendering too smoothly, just a slight delay. I'm not sure what to expect, but it seems the rendering wasn't as smooth as it should have been.
Also, I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence, but my main screen occasionally blinks when I type. This only happened after I ran Cinebench.
Sorry, I don't have many ideas. Regarding the case fans, are they part of the front panel on your Thermaltake case? Are all three included there? If yes, I might think about adding another in the back as an exhaust fan to help remove hot air. Also... Have you ever used a different keyboard? If you have one, turn it off, remove the old one, and install the new one. Then restart the PC.
Yeah all three are included with the case, and they're all in the front. We haven't considered adding a back one since temperatures seem low overall. The average temps are under 50°C according to HWINFO. Do you think I'll still get the benefits from adding an exhaust fan?
I've tried various keyboards too. It looks like the issue might be hardware-related because I ran my code on others with lower specs, and they completed it much faster.
