Problems with heat generation on the latest processor unit
Problems with heat generation on the latest processor unit
I improved my CPU with a lot of community support. Currently I'm dealing with high temperatures, which isn't a major concern now because I only reach around 30% usage, though it could become an issue later. The CPU reaches 100°C during full load on all 16 cores as specified in the details here: ASUS Z790-H gaming WI-FI Intel Core i7 13700KF Arctic Liquid Freezer II ARGB (Rev. 1) paired with 2x16gb G.Skill Trident Z5 at 6400mhz, using an EVGA GTX 1080 SC 750W Bronze rated PSU. Any advice would be very welcome.
It depends on how quickly the temperature reaches the target. If it happens instantly, check your thermal paste application and ensure proper removal. A gradual increase over a few minutes suggests possible cooling system issues—consider adjusting fan speed or case airflow. If it takes more than ten minutes, performance will likely throttle rather than sustain high speeds.
The ASUS boards are causing the CPU to overvolt, leading to thermal problems. A 360 AIO shouldn’t reach 100°C under normal conditions. Check hwmon for core voltage readings—expect values around 1.30V max. Likely you’ll see about 1.45V or higher.
I resolved the problem. I made a few errors: 1. Didn't notice my AIO inlet was connected in series 2. Connected three fans to an AIO pump header on the motherboard. Note: If anyone has the same issue, don't connect the PWM cable from the Arctic Liquid Freezer II's pump into the "AIO-pump" header on the ASUS Z790-H gaming Wi-Fi. The cable goes through the AIO's pipe guards into the pump housing. This is for the daisy-chained PWM fans on the AIO, not for the pump itself. Thanks to everyone who helped with this discussion.
