Temps and Cinebench score opinions
Latest BIOS and drivers available. Build reference: W10 Pro 21H2, version 19044.2006. Only XMP Profile I at 3200MHz CL16 was adjusted. CPU is stock; board restricts BCLK changes. Room temperature averages 20-23°C. Processor: i7-12700 (non-K, air cooled). Idle performance on Windows 10 with HWiNFO open. CPU package temp around 23°C. Core temps: P ~19-21°C, E ~23°C. Power usage 7-7.5W. VRM runs 26-27°C, fan speeds 650-750 RPM. Cinebench R23 10-minute run (HWiNFO open) shows 73-75°C core temps, package 73-75°C, CPU 165-170W. Overall score ~21,500 points (multi-core), likely higher with less monitoring. Opinions?
It's my initial project and even with a few errors, I'm really pleased. I saved a lot of money by purchasing most items on sale. I've also gained a lot of knowledge. So far everything seems to be working well in terms of performance and temperatures. I've adjusted someone else's fan curve in Afterburner, and the GPU is idling at 25-27 degrees with fans running at 50%. The only remaining task is fine-tuning the fan curves, and I think I can start using this PC for work now.
