I let the test run to completion even though I was worried about the temperatures of all my cores being that high for so long. However, CPU temperatures were constantly very high (> 90☌ to 100☌) pretty constantly during two of the tests: Prime Number test and CPU Load test. No error or failure was detected (see attached results).

I have run Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool. This decreased the idle CPU temperature by around 2☌, it but didn't help in any way for the temperatures reached by the stress test. In any case, I cleaned everything up and apply thermal paste again. My pump speed is running at maximum speed at any time (~3300 RPM) and I can feel hot air being pushed out from exhaust fans.Īs I was afraid of having applied thermal paste not well enough (too much / not evenly enough), but it seems that it was ok. With default cooling curves for fans as well as all fans running at full speed (2100 RPM each) Stress tests have been run in multiple configurations: I have 6 intake fans and 4 exhaust fans creating a positive pressure that should guarantee good cooling. I initially enabled XMP and then disabled it to verify if my issue was related to it, but the problem still occurs exactly the same way without XMP enabled. The power consumed by the CPU during the test (~350W) is also way less than the capabilities of my PSU (1300W).Ī bit more information about my build. Both of us are running a 360mm AIO for CPU cooling (from a different brand).Īdditionally, note that my motherboard temperature remains at around 40☌ during this test and does not skyrocket to high temperatures like my CPU. On a side note, I asked a friend to run the same test (with a slightly different build with fewer fans for cooling) and his CPU (12600K) temperatures never increased over 40☌ during this test. As such temperatures are really high and quite constant, I immediately stopped the test to avoid damaging my hardware each time I have run this test. The test indicates that the processor is throttling (seen up to 10% for the short amount of time that I have let the test run). Right after starting the stress test, in the stability test phase, the processor immediately peaks to temperatures > 90☌ to 100☌ for all cores. When idle, my processor runs at around 40☌.

To check that everything was fine, I decided to run a stress test with the software AIDA64 Extreme. I have just finished building a fully new computer with an Intel Processor 13900K.
