Hey.

Just upgraded my cooler from noctua redux to deepcool ls720 SE AIO for my 13600k and installed thermal right contact frame. But the temperature in cinebench still somehow hitting 100°C.

I haven’t touched anything in bios except xmp.

Room temperature 32°C

Idle temps went from 45°C to 38°C

Gaming temps (mainly cs2) went from around 70-85°C to 55-70°C

Back with the air cooler I was getting lower and lower Score each run of cinebench but now the lower I get even after several runs never below 23k mark and the first run score got boosted by around 1000 point even though the CPU is hitting 100°C.

Here is a screenshot with the current temps am getting in the middle of running cinebench.

System specs:

Rtx 2070 super 13600k 2x8 ddr4 3600mhz Asus tuf b760m gaming plus d4

Running the AIO front mount with fans as intake and 3 top fans as exhaust and 1 back fan as exhaust.

So are those behavior normal during gaming and cinebench?

    No!

    You NEED to touch bios settings on 13th / 14th gen!

    This CPU won’t even last a year without degrading if left like that.

    The motherboard bioses overvolt these chips for worst case scenarios.

    Start off with forcing the stock power limit of the chip, I believe its 180w for the 13600K, actual usage in normal use shouldn’t be much higher than 140w.

    Next calibrate the AC_LL, for some boards the value will read like 0.04, on others 40 for the same. The 13600KF I had worked at minimum AC_LL, yours might not.

    Start with 0.04 then work down by 0.01 at a time and check it is still boosting in cinebench.

    Also get HWinfo64 not HWmonitor.
