Testing the temperatures on your new PC is tough. After a full 10-minute multi-core test on Cinebench 23, Hwinfo reports the hottest P-core hit 87°C while the coolest stayed at 73°C. Thermal throttling occurred, and your CPU’s over-temperature protection was capped at 100°C—still quite high. The i9-13900 (non-K) with Arctic MX-6 paste and on-contact frame is running, and the Deepcool AK620 cooler is helping, but the 160W CPU Lite Load is set to Mode 9.

It seems 90c is quite low. Maybe there are other options that run much hotter... Y-Cruncher is one such example.

It's unusual for the throttling to occur at 73°C. My older i9 11900kf begins throttling around 95-96°C, only slightly increasing by about 1%, and it mainly happens during rendering tasks when I boost framerate and clarity.

Certain boards cap at 90 for high-power skus
