Questioni7 12700f - Temperature centrali basse, tensioni VR elevate
Good day, I'm still trying to understand this issue I encountered during stress testing my i7-12700f. I'm curious about a pattern I've observed with my system.
The configuration details are as follows:
- Cooler: deepcool ak620
- Case: phanteks p360a
- Location: hot country, typical temperatures 29-33°C
- Image link: https://imgur.com/bL2NUOH
- Stress test tool: Cinebench R23
During the test, I achieved a score of 19xxx on a single run. However, if I run it for 10 minutes, my score drops to 15xxx or 16xxx, which suggests throttling. From HWInfo, I noticed that VR VCC temperature reaches 102°C after prolonged Cinebench R23 use. This high temperature likely contributes to the performance decline.
I've read that when GPU VRM and CPU core temperatures differ significantly, thermal pads may need replacement. For CPUs, I'm unsure what steps to take but would appreciate any advice or tips to maintain stable performance.
You can find the VR on the motherboard and attach thermal pads or a heat sink there, plus use a case fan to keep it cool. Is this a pre-built setup? The maker might have configured it that way since the system can't manage more power. Or if it's winter in your area, they could have set it lower because summer will be much tougher on it. Your 12700f is supposed to handle up to 180w, but it's capped at 130w with a maximum of 150w.
The model or review often mentions VR. You might also recall seeing several cubes arranged on two sides of the CPU, with a cooling down cooler providing that cooling while preventing air from entering from the side.
