[SOLVED] 8700k 360 Galahad high temps

[piagraffy]

I recently bought a 360 Galahad and a Lian Li Dynamic O11 EVO, my 8700k at 4.7 synced all cores its running very high temps, jumping up and down constantly... on XTU it says my power limit is throttling so its maxing out at 4.5ghz and even lower when i run it for longer, my VCORE voltage is reaching 1.4 sometimes as well, I've tried messing around the voltage but not sure what im really doing to be honest. If I leave it on my desktop for a bit on idle it goes between 30-40 degrees, when I run a stress test on XTU its maxing out at 80 degrees, I've tried reseating the block twice reapllying paste, making sure block is tightened as well. Also changing the fan speed in L Connect makes no difference whatsoever if its running at the lowest speed vs the highest I can set it to. anyone help? Im from UK and my room isnt that warm.

That... is not alarming at all. Pretty common.

VCORE voltage is reaching 1.4 sometimes as well

Also not unusual when very few cores/threads are active, C-states are active, and Vcore is on auto.
Typical behavior for a sleeping core/thread to spike-wake up with seemingly high Vcore to run at max speed out the gate, do whatever little task there was, and go right back to sleep. When they're under heavy load, the voltage doesn't jump as high.

So everything is fine? I just expected better temps.

Yes, it's fine.
Even the power limit thing likely is Tau(turbo boost duration) expiring. It resets when the workload takes a break.
For the 8700K, that should be 56 seconds.

Do you know how I could stop it from power limit throttling from the bios? I changed the turbo boost short power limit and long power limit as I seen from another post but that was in XTU so it’s not permanent and that fixed it but obviously I would like it permanent, my MOBO is a ASUS z370p

Well, you do the same thing, but in bios - short power and long power to 300w, or whatever you set it to in XTU

Yeah I found it after watching a few videos I couldn’t find the right setting

Ai Tweaker tab > Internal Cpu Power Management, should be it.
