I have a new build, and I mostly use my PC for photo editing. I was exporting photos, and my CPU was hitting 95-100 deg C during the export.
The CPU is an i7-12700F - 12th gen Alder Lake
MoBo: Gigabyte Z690 UD AX
Case: Cooler Master Q500L
My first question is whether this is something to worry about. The export takes around 5-10 min, so it is ok for the CPU to get that hot for that period of time? The rest of the time, the CPU runs at 20-45 deg.
If not, here are some things I might try:
1. I have 2 case fans. 80mm on the top and 120mm on the rear, both exhaust. I can put another 120mm on the front of the case for intake.
2. I'm using the stock cooler. I didn't apply any extra thermal paste. Just what was pre-applied. I can try a better cooler. This is the one I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-SickleFlow-Contact-Technology/dp/B08KD6SPLW
3. There's only 2 inches of headroom between the top of the case and my desk. I can move the case or change the orientation, but this is the least convenient option.
They make a conversion kit so it will fit on the LGA 1700 socket.
