I9-14900k + rog strix z790-e + arctic liquid III 360 cooler (thermaltake v51 case), temps and maybe issues?

Wondering if anyone here with this setup experiences high temps on just loading into a situation, usually in the last 10 seconds, for me it will spike to say 96C (at 76F in the room ambient). i use a contact frame and used mx6

During the sim its generally 62-80 i would say, pretty typical.

Cinebench r23 is 87c max (37k score), bios set to 253w/253w/333amp (i’ve had it at 400 as well), negative offset 0.114 or so and adaptive on the global vid asus setting (cep is on auto, c states on, balanced mode in windows).

Windows idles around 42 at the minimum end

Im assuming maybe those weird spikes on loading are normal, just looking for some validation. Im on the latest bios update 2503 i think it is with the new microcode

Thanks in advance

Yeah I get that too. i13900k here with a 4090. Loading a flight always has high temps but settle into the 60-70s once flight starts. Water cooled. Hope this helps.

I have an MSI i5-13400F with RTX 4060 I get a spike in the final stages of loading. Standard fan. Average mid 50’s spike to low 60’s. Looks like we all get it.

there is a BIOS update with latest Intel microcode (released a few days ago) to address high spikes (not to exceed or over shoot normal operatable limits) to protect the CPU live, applicable for 13th and 14th generations, I recommend every one should be updating.

best regards to all.

Slight comment… Although Intel may have released an update, that doesn’t mean a motherboard manufacturer has. Check the details of the manfacturer’s update or call them to find out if their latest BIOS includes the August Intel update. Thanks. --Redeye

i reseated my cooler, i think the last test i ran i was spiking with the 14900k at 85c on the load. I also am running the latest microcode aug update for asus. I think i may have still been near 90c on loading into egll, but before it was literally 99 or 100 on that one.

This temp is still better than it was, and still mostly 60-70 during sim.

I have an older gen of Rog Strix and I can tell you that after almost 4 years now, I am still surprised on how hot it can turn. I do not need a heater in the room where it is during our Canadian winters… But one thing I got used to, is to try to trust the cooling system in it and not to monitor the temp as I used to do in the early days after I got it :slight_smile:

(ASUS ROG Strix G35CZ-D9V90 - Intel Core i9-10900KF (3.7 GHz / AI Adaptive O/C to 5.3 GHz), 32GB DDR4, GeForce RTX 3090 24GB, 1TB PCIe SSD + 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD.)

Update BIOS to the latest beta version.

“The new BIOS includes Intel microcode 0x129 and adjusts the factory default settings for the non-K processors, enhancing the stability of Intel Core 13th and 14th gen desktop processors.”

Yeah i’ve updated to the the latest 2503 with that microcode update.

Moved to User Support Hub User Support Hub > Hardware & Peripherals this category is more appropriate.

I changed to the asus ryuo III 360, gained about 3-5c, before i was hitting 97-99c even, on some load ins (brief spike), now i average at most 92c (at 76F room), often less. of course actual sim time im typically 60 to 80c on average.

Im at 0.55 ACLL, LLC4 , DC LL at auto and 0.050 negative offset with cep turned off, 253/253/350A. ram at tweaked xmp at 7000mhz, fully stable now. Im on the latest strix z790-e bios and did not set an IA current max setting (when i tried 1400, it neutered performance), max vcore i see is 1.395 and during the sim avg 1.34-1.36 with clocks solid 5.6-5.7ghz. Its closer to 1.19v for a cinebench test (82c) and 39,500 score. I also have the “ICC unlimited” setting to disabled and Cstates enabled.
