Good day people,


Running a noctua NH-U14S on a 9700k, no oc, turbo on. Temps in idle are 25-28 celsius, Temp in AC odyssey on ultra 1440p reaches 66 celsius max (cpu usage between 80-100%), Prime95 blend reaches 72-74, and Prime95 small ftt goes to 85 celsius. how are these temps?
I am coming from a 3770k with h100 so I cannot compare as the 9700k apparently runs hot.
Any insight on the matter is well appreciated. Peace

Those 9th Gen CPU's like the i7 9700K and i9 9900K's run HOT out of the box cause there agressively clocked high. But those temps are pretty good on air. I have the 8700K at 5GHz and the temps reach 80°c on aida64 stress test and that's with an old school ZALMAN cnps 9900MAX 300Watt cpu cooler. I ended up getting a unicorn chip cause it only requires 1.2500v to run at 5GHz. It'll boot at 5.5GHz into windows. I got a deal on the z370 Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 and with 16GB Gskill 3200MHz ram plus the 8700K for $500. That's the price of the 9900K. In the future i will eventually upgrade to the 8c16t beast but for now i am very happy with the purchase.

I just upgraded from a i7 3770K and a Asrock Extreme4 MB. It has a different ZALMAN cnps 9700 all copper cooler. those old school coolers really work well with these new cpu's. and it reaches 80°c at 4.3GHz with the ram a 2400MHZ. I can't get it to go past 4.3GHz for some reason. So I ordered der8auer's delid die-mate 2 for some liquid metal treatment. any tips or settings i could use to get it past 4.3GHz would be greatly appreciated.
