Question i7-14700k running too hot with Peerless Assassin when rendering photos?

[EstimatedEyes]

Firing up my new build, and hitting temps around 27-32 most of the time, except when rendering photos in Lightroom (building 1:1 or Standard previews), when temps are consistently in the 70s and 80s but occasionaly spiking into the high 90s accoring to the max column in Core Temp which has me a bit concerned. I need to render quite a few over the next few weeks to rebuild my catalog previews, and wondering if this is something to worry about.

Using a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE with the i7-14700k on a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX ICE 1.0 in a Fractal Pop Air case. Also:; Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5200 64 GB (2x32), MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Corsair 850W PSU. I did not apply any OC settings (but idk if the Gigabyte board did by default).

Don't want to go to liquid cooling since this isn't a gaming rig and rendering will slow down once I get the catalog rebuilt and temps are otherwise solid.

Thanks in advance of any suggestions.

That's not hot for that processor according to Intel. You can limit the voltage down some in BIOS if the temps scare you.

Since those processors are apparently having issues I would limit the voltage anyhow.

What do you have the pl1/pl2 set to. It seems the cooler is keeping up with the temps. As long as you do not see spikes to 100c it will not reduce the clocks.

In some ways you would water cool a NON gaming machine. Most gaming only uses limited cores which greatly reduces the power/heat being used.

That peerless cooler has been tested on 13700k even with the pl1/pl2 set to 253/253 which is a overclock and it still does not thermal throttle. If you set it to 4095/4095 then you need to water cool it and it still likely will thermal throttle.

You may also want to check your fan curves sometimes you can get a temperature spike because the fan curve didn't spin the fans up quickly enough as the load increased. Maybe set the fans at 100% all the time and see if it looks any different.
