Forcing PCIE3 did the trick. Bought a new case and didn't know the PCIE riser cable was only PCIE3 so doesnt support PCIE 4. Thanks!

No worries at all, thanks for replying, I'll give that a try with forcing pcie3. The bios update was no dice :(

Thanks for replying so quickly, yeh I thought so too but in isolation both has worked fine so thats why im confused. I'll try the BIOS flash but i figured the board is pretty new + CPU boots fine with GTX980 that might not be the problem, but I'll give it a try :)

Hi everyone, Appreciate any help in advance but I am super baffled as to why this is happening. I am building a new rig and have been unable to boot but I've isolated tested all parts individually and they all work. Motherboard beep code has indicated it as an AGP error hence why I've posted in...

Thanks so much for you help so far @Phaaze88 Yeh sorry about that its an ASUS ROG STRIX Z490I but I think uninstalling AI suite did the trick! The clocks are dropping down to 3.6 Ghz on idle :) Yeh its really weird moving from an older intel chip. I actually have Thermal Boost Disabled earlier...

Thanks man that explains a lot. Yep looking at it I think you are right, single core boost to 5.2 + 4.8 all core. However I think because the CPU is consistently running at 4.8 and even with the slightest loads goes above 70c, I think that's why thermal boost is never activated. Are there any...

Thanks! Yeh all cores seem to hit 100C which is why its worrying. Also is it normal in windows for it to always run at 4.8GHz even on idle? like the base clock for this thing is at 3.6 and it has never gone down.... What do you mean by running Intel defined power limits? I thought by turning off...

Thanks! Yeh most definitely the first time I've encountered thermal problems with this cooler but I thought considering it had handled the 4960X like a champ another 125W TDP CPU should be no problem... I'll give the underclocking a test and see if it drops the temps :)

Thanks for responding! The GPU thermals are actually doing fine (they peak at around 60C during gaming and 75C under stress on kombustor) hence why I thought it was strange since I didn't have this issue earlier with any other CPUs. I am aware the 200mm might not be running suboptimally but...

Yep BIOS updated, windows has been recently re-installed.

Hi Friends, I've recently upgraded my computer to a i9-10850K and would really like your thoughts and opinions around some thermal issues I've been having... For reference I've drawn up my current build and airflow: Component Part CPU Intel Core i9-10850K CPU Cooler Corsair Hydro H100i...

Hi all, Thanks for checking out this post and taking the time to read it. I've recently purchased myself a brand new i7 6700k with a ASUS Z170I Pro Gaming and the new corsair H5 SF Water cooler. However, for some odd reason, upon boot, the idle temps of the cpu sit at around 41C to 45C and...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for reading this thread. Just wanted to get some advice from the experts regarding some frustrating issues I have had with my computer: - ASUS H97I Plus - i3 4130T @ 2.9GHz - Kingston HyperX DDR3L (2x4GB) @ 1600Mhz - 256GB Samsung 840 Pro - 4TB WD RED NAS - PicoPSU...
