Sure, I can help with that. Do you have any visuals of the situation? That might assist in offering better guidance on managing the cooling process.
No worries, even if you have a glass panel and stick a phone close enough to it should be fine, also if its in the corner, is there enough space in the front, rear and sides for heat to escape and dissipate, you could be creating a little heat bubble so to speak and recycling hot air into the front of the case again
it doesn't seem to be forming a heat bubble since the second CPU fan is positioned for exhaust on the case, which performs well. I plan to check undervolting it because I don’t like the amount of heat it generates. There were few frequency drops during thermal throttling (from 5.3 to 5), so I’m unsure if it’s overheating completely. I might consider disabling the ASUS performance booster in BIOS, which unlocks power and could be contributing to the issue.
By default, Intel Undervolt Protection is activated on the B660 boards, preventing any undervolting attempts. Check the BIOS for the AI Tweakers / Tweakers Paradise section and search for the Switch Microcode option. Choosing the early 0x104 microcode version will turn off the protection. Avoid using the BIOS to adjust voltages. This setting appears faulty; consider using ThrottleStop 9.6 instead. In the FIVR window, apply a negative voltage offset of -75 mV to both the core and P cache to lower temperatures significantly. For more details, refer to this helpful guide: https://www.overclock.net/threads/guide-...t-29285373. If you need visual assistance, share ThrottleStop screenshots. Many users are unaware of the B660 board’s constraints. With adjustments like -75 mV, you can achieve better stability. The K series CPUs tend to draw too much voltage at standard settings, causing excessive heat.
