Question high CPU temperature at my I7-12700KF

[COSMINiftime1705]

hello guys,can you please tell me if it's normal that my CPU temperature reach 100 Celsius degrees on every core?i think it's not..and i have stutter as well,so maybe this is the cause of it....because my FPS is good,but i have a lot of stutter
Here are my Temperatures after just 2 minutes in CS GO:

so maybe if i will buy a case that can fit a AIO of 360mm on roof,this would be the best combination for my CPU temperatures but also my overall PC temperature right?

The best for CPU temperature would probably be the front, however I myself run a 240mm in the roof because I don't want to starve my GPU for airflow. It does depend somewhat on the case but my two cents would be to put it in the roof.

but the cases are important depending of description?like full-tower or mid-tower,etc.
i mean if there could be difficulties about compatibility with my components(Motherboard,Cpu,Gpu,etc)

I would expect a full tower to have strong radiator support. However mid towers can vary in size and some will have better support than others. I would probably opt for a mid tower that was big enough for a 360mm AIO up top.

The manufacturers websites will normally say what the radiator support is. A popular case that's quite flexible with water cooling is the Lian Li 011 Dynamic. I personally use a Fractal Design Meshify C White because I needed something more compact to fit my desk. It doesn't support 360mm in the top but the Meshify 2 does. Fractals website is also a bit easier to navigate than others so it's easier to find out what you can fit.

well,ALPHAGEAR OATHKEEPER is a mid tower with 360 mm AIO support in front and also on top.I think that's a pretty decent case.What do you say?

That looks like it supports 360mm in both the top and the front yes. It looks ok but I'm not familiar with the case myself.

i studied a bit and i found that the only AIO of 360mm that can't fit there is the one from Arctic because of the width of the radiator,but others can fit there
And if my choice is DeepCool AIO of 360mm,it would mean that it's perfect in a way or another

The Artic is more tricky because the radiator is slightly thicker than normal. A full tower case most likely wouldn't have an issue, but they can get quite large and they tend to be more expensive.

 

[COSMINiftime1705]

you are right.And i don't think is really worth it...because from what i heard DeepCool AIO of 360mm is a pretty good cooler for i7 12th gen,i mean that should be enough

The Artic would be quieter but the DeepCool is enough for the 12700K, and if it's not there's not that much better really.

yes,i managed to do some pictures of it

I recognize this case. It's Aerocool's Aero One.

ANTEC C400

All cores hitting 100C during CSGO? That game loads maybe 2 cores.
This screams of incorrectly installed cooler mount; push pin coolers aren't exactly easy to get correct.

Well done, I had no idea what it was. I've just checked, it supports a 360mm AIO at the front and 240mm at the top.

It does yes, I still wouldn't have anything less than a 240mm AIO on it though.

Yes it was thank you

i checked today 2 times and it was mounted correctly...is weird....

look guys,some stats again from my CPU in idle...clearly is not normal...

and maybe with ALPHAGEAR OATHKEEPER and a DeepCool 360mm AIO,temperature problem could be cured

Ehh, it depends. If they're just playing CSGO on that cpu, the C400 would be doing SOMETHING if it were mounted CORRECTLY.
I dislike push pin coolers because of their trickier installation and that the pins wear down over repeated installs/removals.
OP could just get a AK620 or Peerless Assassin, or something similar and call it a day.

Didn't you just lock the cores to base clock? None of the cores are sleeping.

Its a good point 100c in cs:go is not normal, the cpu shouldn't be pulling enough watts with a cooler that can do 150 watts tdp.

i just turned off Turbo boost to not reach 4.7 GHz to not force my CPU in this state...

You can limit the power draw of the cpu, that should keep temps under control and give more performance.

A cooler that has greater than 190 tdp will hopefully cool the cpu better. I would go with what Phaaze88 says and get a better cooler but also I would be very cautious about 100c temps in cs:go.

and how could i limit this?i really don't know this...And about 100c temps ,it's not only in CS GO,but even in cs 1.6 from 2000...an old game..

Poster above talked about checking if the cooler is mounted correctly. Have you been able to do this? Sometimes the cold plate has a plastic cover, if not removed it will cause this issue. Also you should check that the fan for the cooler is plugged in and the fan itself is spinning.

Your motherboard manual has the information on how to limit power draw for the cpu. Don't mess with it if you are not sure what to change.

There are two power states, PL1 and PL2. Think of it as base and boost, you can set the power limit for both in the bios. If you've disabled turbo boost though it should only run in it's PL1 state, which will default to 125W normally.

well when i turned off Intel turbo boost,even with 3.6 GHz my temperature was between 95 and 100 degrees.So this mean that even with 3.6 GHz frequency my temperature still reach 100 degrees..

There is something very wrong if you are hitting 100c with very little cpu load. I would 100% check if there is something wrong with the cpu cooling setup.

about fan,i checked it and it is fine from every aspect.That's why i'm worried....and about motherboard settings,i'm not familiar with those,And for this reason i didn't changed anything but Intel turbo boost
