I reviewed my CPU temperatures using the HW monitor earlier, noticing they reached 90°C and later spiked to 100°C. I suspected the Corsair H100i was the issue, but after replacing it with a new DeepCOOL GAMMAXX L240T cooler, temperatures stayed consistent. My PC continues to run above 90°C with thermal throttling still occurring. I disabled Turbo Boost and confirmed fans and pump RPMs were normal, yet overheating persisted. I’ve double-checked the cooler installation and thermal paste application. What’s happening with my system?

The HW monitor is displaying the voltage being provided to the CPU.

And what are your CPU clocks? A K skew will go all the way to 100C with too much clock or voltage whatever the cooling even sub 0 nitrogen...

Show screenshots of CPU speed, load, and heat over time. Use a metal block on top of the CPU to exclude a dead AIO. Stick with the standard cooler. If no problems are found in the data or fixes, the CPU might be the problem. The TIM between the die and heatsink could be faulty.

Do you think the lack of thermal paste could be the cause, even though it usually comes with the product?

These 8000 series chips lack soldered IHS plates, and the adhesive beneath the plate deteriorates over time. Assuming your cooler and case are functioning properly, it’s advisable to replace the thermal paste in the IHS area. Doing so can greatly reduce your CPU core temperatures.

Was das während des Spielens oder Wartens passiert? In dem Spiel ist das in Ordnung, aber es sollte auch bei einem AI-O nicht zu heiß werden. Die besten Ideen wären: - Falsche Befestigung (stelle sicher, dass du von Ecke zu Ecke balancierst und die Spannung nicht zu fest machst). - Nicht alte Wärmepaste entfernen, wenn du sie neu aufträgst. Verwende Alkohol und ein Tuch, um alles sauber zu bekommen. Es sollte sauber aussehen. - Lüfter oder Kühler nicht richtig im Gehäuse befestigt. Ich habe gesehen, jemand hat einen AI-O vorne montiert und Lüfter, die Luft nach innen ziehen, während er gleichzeitig Abluftöffnungen oben und hinten hat. Das ist ärgerlich. Hast du die Fenster neu installiert, um Registry-Probleme oder Malware zu beseitigen?

This would have kept you ranked at 90 out of 100. Most folks just used it for meme OC comparison scores.

It was a typical decline for the 8700k and 8600k models, around a 15°C drop in temperatures, which often led to delidding on these 8000 series Intel chips. I adjusted the overclocking, and I personally managed to get rid of the issue using LN2. Now I rely on air cooling daily. The delidding was helpful—I wouldn’t have been stuck with a water loop otherwise. It’s something I’ve seen many people do too.

Checked the details, honestly—I didn’t realize it had such a big effect. Let’s shift the focus toward helping 6700k users instead of rushing to react to every spike.
