Hello,
Recently I have rebranded my system and ever since I have experienced significantly higher CPU temperatures than before.
I would like to know if this would be considered as normal behavior considering the parts.
Parts:
CPU: Intel Core i7 9700K
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4
Case: Be Quiet! Pure Base 500DX (5 case fans in total, 2 intakes and 3 exhausts. I don't think case airflow is the issue.)
MOBO: ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi)
I exchanged the CPU, Motherboard and case when I upgraded.
I see temperatures ranging from around 30C/86F while idle, between 70C/158F and 80C/176F while gaming with spikes up to 90C/194F.
Cinebench gets me dangerously close to thermal throttle territory usually not more than 5C/41F off Tj. Max is 100C/212F)
My chip is running at stock speeds.
I used Cooler Master HTK-002 thermal paste, roughly pea size as is usually advised.
Coming from an i5 that never really ran above 70c this is quite a significant increase in temperature and I was hoping to do some overclocking on this chip at some point.
Can someone explain to me what may be happening to my CPU temperatures?
Thanks,
Sam
