Thermal management adjusted to 2.5Ghz and 240 mm AIO included
Hello, your previous PC experienced high temperatures on the 240 mm AIO cooler, reaching up to 98°C during gaming. After some use, it cooled down to around 92°C with a stable speed of about 2.5GHz. It seems the cooler might not be performing well enough for your setup. Consider checking the cooling system or replacing the cooler if needed. Let me know if you need more advice!
The 11900k is really hot, didn't you notice? You didn't have to spend too much for this old machine last year. Lenovo uses a pretty basic AI in their laptops, which is fine since they don’t rely on fancy chips. The 11900k is kind of sad though. Just clean it out with compressed air or a dusting tool for the PC. If it’s still running well, maybe upgrade the cooler. Luckily, Lenovo still makes decent gaming rigs, and you could fit an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 in front.
I thoroughly reset everything, yet the performance remained unchanged. I’m trying to determine if the AIO is faulty, which would affect warranty eligibility. Since Lenovo devices don’t log fan or pump speeds, I’m uncertain whether it’s functioning properly. It seems the CPU might be overloaded for this unit, but the PC previously ran more smoothly. Likely, I’ll opt for a model similar to the one you suggested.
The main issue with Intel CPUs often lies in the default voltage being too high. Lowering this excess can significantly improve performance. My 10850K is a 14nm chip with 10 cores, similar to yours but more powerful. Reports suggest it tends to overheat. After tweaking the voltage, it stopped overheating completely and reached 66°C during Cinebench load. For cooling, I use a Corsair RGB PRO XT 240mm cooler. Check the BIOS for loadline adjustments to control voltage. If BIOS options are restricted, consider ThrottleStop to manage core and cache voltages. Share screenshots and logs when testing for better insights.
Did you verify the pump functions properly and ensure sufficient coolant is present in the tube?
