Thermal throttling at 12900k
Thermal throttling at 12900k
Hey there! The video talked about a bowing effect on the CPU, and you noticed your PCB has a bow that moves down toward the center. Despite that, your temperatures stay high, even hitting 100°C in Cinebench R23. It’s possible the physical layout isn’t optimizing airflow enough.
Jay makes a few mistakes in the video. Check the Buildzoid version for details on how it functions and what's happening. He was the one who first found the mod. The main point is that if the CPU curve doesn't align with the cooler curve, you'll face problems. Depending on your cooler type, temperatures can be typical (like the 12900k drawing a lot of power) or excessively high. With a 360mm radiator, it might indicate an issue with your mount.
