As title says I'm trying to get temps a little lower. I've never under/overclocked in my life. When I built my PC they were out of 14700k so i went with the i9 14900k.
I'm using an air cooler which i know swapping to AIO would potentially help a bit but ideally I'd like to avoid messing with the internals.
I have the core voltage offset at -0.05V. PL1 and PL2 (if i remember the terms right) are at 200W. Motherboard cooling setting is set to Air/Tower cooler. I have the motherboard turbo boost thing turned off. And recently because games are giving me issues with shader memory i have the active core ratio down to 58x and 55x according to an NVIDIA guide.
Is there anything else I can do to lower temps? Certain games are hitting thermal throttle. Most games actually run fine right around in the 60-70C range which I'm happy with for an air cooler on this thing. Problem is certain games that are more intensive case the throttling even with all the settings I have. Is there something I'm missing or am I just running a stupid CPU for my system? (I assume i should've just waited for a 14700k)
