[SOLVED] I9 10900k overheats in stress test and in games

[AmirMKH]

I recently built myself a new computer. I bought a Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler as a cooling device. I don't use overclocking, only Intel Turbo Boost. If you run a stress test in aida64 without a video card, the temperature is 90 degrees, if you enable an additional stress test of the video card, the processor temperature exceeds 100 degrees. In games, temperatures are also high from 70-80, in cyberpunk 80-82 degrees, with jumps to 86. On Youtube, I watched tests of builds with this cooler, the same processor and video card, but they have 50-60 degrees in games, a maximum of 75. On one of the videos I saw, aida64 stress test with a video card maximum of 92 degrees, I tried to enable the adaptation offset mod in the BIOS, disable various settings, but it was useless.If you turn on TVB, the temperatures in the stress test with the video card fit in 92-94, but in games it is still 70-80 degrees, it does not decrease in any way. I sincerely do not understand what the reason is, maybe I got a defective processor, mobo or a defective cooler ?

Sounds like your cpu cooler isn't seated fully/properly, and may need better thermal solution.

 

[Mr.Spock]

definitely should check the heatsink mounting, that cooler should be solid with a 250W TDP...

Could it be because of the thermal paste that went to the cooler? Some said it wasn't very good. I bought a Grizzly Kryonaut, tomorrow I will try to test it

the Dark Rock 4 gets 88C temps with a 9700K at stock clocks; I'd certainly expect no better with a 10900K

No chassis listed?

No chassis listed?

I have MSI GUNGNIR 110M

 

[drivinfast247]

I have MSI GUNGNIR 110M

With the glass or vent front panel?

That chassis should be fine.

What are thermals like in bios? If the cooler mount is bad, it can be reflected in bios.

You've confirmed that you're not overclocking, but some motherboards do not follow the stock Intel or AMD specifications out of the box, with the vendor opting for a performance tweaked profile.
It's a more common thing with the fancier boards. It's to make their products look better than the competition, but it tends to screw over the end user, because the cpu runs hotter.
The 10900K has a single core boost up to 5.3ghz and an all core of 4.9ghz. That's supposed to be stock operation. Thermal Velocity Boost is only active up to 70C, so uhh, not a lot of headroom with that.
If you're seeing different values from stock, it's likely been tweaked.

With the glass or vent front panel?

The R model has the glass panel.

Roger that!

Yeah... I agree. My new build (same CPU and mobo as OP) I did a lot of component research on prior to purchase... and every single comment I read about the 10900k said to use an AIO... preferably 360mm... so I did.

I know this air cooler ranks at the top... but still... and I threw everything plus the kitchen sink at this CPU doing some initial stress testing the other day for 15+ mins at a time and it still peaked at 79C. Big difference.

 

[Notorious^]

I would certainly reseat the cooler with fresh thermal paste and then see what your temps are. When you entered the BIOS for the first time, you should have seen a pop up asking you what cooling method you're using and asks you to select.

 

[Mr.Spock]

OP has the Dark Rock Pro 4 - so there's 50W TDP difference right there 😉

You have two hot components to cool.
Considering that, I think you are doing just fine.
In the 80's under load is ok.
The throttle point is 100c.
Run Hwmonitor.
It will give you the current, minimum and maximum temperatures.
If your minimum is in the range of 10-15c. over ambient, your cooler is mounted ok.
If you see a max of 100c, you will have throttled.

Your case is not a great one for airflow.
Mesh fronts are much better.
To do better, you need to get more cooling air into the case so that your cpu and gpu coolers can do their job.
About the only way to do that is to replace the front 120mm fans with higher rpm units.
