Getting these temps on all stock settings (not even with XMP enabled) on a Z370 Taichi and Core i9-9900k while running P95 small FFT test. Running in a New Ark 90 case with a built in 280mm liquid cooler. I tried reversing the fans and it doesn't help. I installed three additional fans for intake as well. Not sure if this is even safe to run long term on stock settings... thoughts?
Also, I noticed that occasionally one or two of the processor loads will dip to under 100% for some reason while p95 is running- not sure if this is normal or a throttling response or just plain old not working correctly.
Is there anything I could/should do to try and get these temps down? Any ideas on why the core loads shift to under 100%?
load dip while still running prime95 small FFTs (16 threads)
BIOS Screenshots:
Update: The load dropping is due to a fatal error on some of the worker threads in P95. See below:
Did I just get a dud processor? Perhaps a Mobo issue?
