Question CPU high temps - low usage ?

[Kingcrusi]

Having some cpu package temp issues curious if I’m missing something.

Fresh startup. No programs running and the cpu is at idle 3% and sitting at 60-70c. I think that is too high but I could be wrong. I have clocked it down from the default 57x to 55x using the intel utility. When at 57x it idles closer to 90c.

I have fans at max speed always and pump at max speed.

I did a test today. I pulled the cpu block and cleaned off the thermal paste and put a fresh on it to see if that’s would resolve the issue. Sadly no change.

It is a custom build. And custom water loop.

Double radiator running 3 120’s each.
One rear exhaust.
Water goes from pump -> gpu -> cpu -> radiator -> radiator -> pump

Motherboard - ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero
CPU - Intel Core i9-14900KF - Core i9 14th Gen 24-Core
Ram - 64gb ddr5 6400


CPU block - CORSAIR XC7 RGB ELITE LCD CPU Water Block

Hopefully I answered everything that might be asked.

If you are thinking about swapping out the fans, these won't break the bank and have very good stats.

I have 7x140mm and 3x 120mm Noctua Ippcs 3000rpm on my 3 rads and a 140 for exhaust.
I wish those P Max was out when I invested in the Noctua's.
I still have not replaced a Noctua fan because it was Dead!!!!!!

Those are nice and for the price. Thanks for that info.

what is your power supply ?


are your inlet and outlet ports correct

outlet is top
inlet is below. it can reverse flow but according to the website this can cause loss in cooling performance.

would recomend the lga contact frame as it will help the cpu 1700 from bending from heat high heat loads can cause these cpus to bend

Thermalright CPU Contact Frame for LGA1700
