Got the 13600kf today as planned. Ran r23 and instant 100c using a h100i platinum 240aio with undervoltage to 1.158 under load. Load dropped from 220w to 160w and temps fell to 80°C max after ten minutes of r23. Core counts stayed steady at 5.1 throughout without movement. E-cores held at 3.9. Sorry, no pre-photo shots but it was a 100c package with 220w draw and a 23000 score.
I mean lowering the voltage on a 13600kf unit, yes it will perform better than stock. The title is misleading and not very accurate. These CPUs come out of the box very hot, and fine-tuning them helps. It doesn’t change their nature. They can run cooler in general, but it doesn’t alter what they are. Gaming tasks usually aren’t that intense, but when you run heavy rendering jobs, they’ll get very hot.
I wouldn't hold the CPU responsible; the motherboard makers would be to blame for the ridiculous voltage levels. These issues often lead people to avoid purchasing devices due to overheating concerns.
Stock 13700KF operates without power restrictions and passed a 360 and 10m CBR23 test with fans at maximum speed. It stabilized near 1.266v under full load, oscillating between roughly 78-82 for about three minutes before settling. This performance is significantly hotter than my 10th generation unit, which also ran without limits. It draws approximately 15W more than usual.
In reality, it's not very efficient at around 220 watts. My 3800x3D runs at 84°C and draws just 125W... Personally... 100°C feels too warm.
The peak was around 218 watts at 243w peak, which was just winding down. If I set the fan profiles to "Quiet," I’ll enjoy a smoother experience for gaming. This test will likely settle in the mid-90s, and by summer it might throttle under the quiet setting. Think of it as 16 cores—definitely a big upgrade!
oh yeah, i wasn't sure how to read this... with Ryzen the peak can sometimes be misleading because the things are all over the place... yeah, same, while gaming etc my system barely goes above 60C... i just do all this testing to check if everythings ok and to have a baseline in case i need it... didn't think i break any records although 125w seems to be a lot already, depending who you ask lol
