TDP 10850K 250 watts
My Zalman CNPS20X, known for its premium air cooling, only manages to cool around 150W of CPU power during Prime 95 (Small FFT) or OCCT (Small data set) at roughly 80°C. It's hard to picture a real 250W air cooler fitting this setup.
However, the prime issue introduces excessive voltage levels. It's helpful to check only the maximum power your motherboard supports—some cases are available that use more than 250W as suggested by Intel. Testing PRIME95 at 250W and 254W works fine, but if your board applies too much extra voltage, you should definitely turn off MCE. In my experience, everything is normal, and I appreciate your help. If you can assist, I'm happy to do so. Thanks to the community!
