Hi guys,

Kinda stressed out here. I built a new computer with an I9 10850K and am using a Noctua NH D15 to cool it. The idle temps are pretty fine IMO, at around 35c - 40c. But when using Blender for rendering or running Cinebench, the temps go REALLY high pretty fast. Highest I have seen it go is about 95c, generally goes around 88c or so though I would say.

I have checked the thermal paste and the contact of the cooler on the cpu and those are definitely not problems.

What I think are the relevant specs are:
- i9 10850k
-RTX 3070
-MSI Z490-A PRO
- 32GB Kingston HyperX RAM @ 3200MHZ
-Noctua NH D15

Temps and voltages from HWMonitor:

If anyone could help me figure this out, I would be EXTREMELY grateful, as I made this PC for rendering and 3d purposes + gaming, and currently feel wary about doing the former .

Unsure if any of these settings seem off. Also included an image of voltage and cpu speeds at idle.
It seems like it was jumping all the way from 800mzh to 5ghz while just on the desktop.

(ALSO just an FYI thank you everyone who has given me assistance or advice thus far!!)

Fiddlesticks. That usually works... did I forget something?
It did work, 3,6Ghz is the base clock for this CPU so hitting 3,7 is what stock settings should do with whatever he tried (prob cine or blender) to keep the rated TDP, since it depends on how heavy the workload is.
If he runs a game or something clocks will be much closer to 4,8.


OP as I said before use intel tuning tool to decrease clocks by 100Mhz at a time monitor the temps and lock that to cine/blender at whatever clocks/temps are good for you.
