Do you have any idea if this performance is typical for an i9 13900k? It seems it hits 100 instantly during the multi-core test on r23 and remains there. Also, the power consumption appears quite high.

It's also using an NZXT Kraken 240mm AIO completely.

It's a bit under the mark with the current power limits—it should be around 36k, but without them it should reach 40k. A 35k is still within range, particularly if your operating system isn't optimized. The power consumption numbers align with what you'd expect from that chip. The temperatures are reasonable for a 240mm AIO; a 360mm setup would be better for cooling, and adding a contact frame would be beneficial.

I have a thermaltake contact frame, but nothing else seems to help improve my scores. All the videos I watch suggest undervolting and using Intel xtu, though when I tried to change the voltage it was disabled and only adjusted other settings.

It's a smart approach, though I wouldn't rely on XTU for this. You can simply adjust the negative voltage offset in the BIOS, which should allow you to undervolt the chip without needing XTU active. The only downside is that you'll have to restart each time you want to modify the voltage.

Sure, I understand. It’s important to dig deeper into it, but thanks for the feedback. This is just my second attempt so I’m still learning—coming from a 7th-gen i3 to a 13th-gen i9 might have been a challenge.
