Hello,
I am running an I9-9900KS and feel that my temps are hitting very high while gaming and it fluctuates a lot which I am not a big fan of.
While idling / light load I am at 32-46c and it jumps a lot back and forward. While gaming I can reach as high as 90c which doesn't seem right to me.
I have checked and ensured there isn't a plastic cover on the cooler, I replaced the thermal paste with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (even re-done it to ensure it was applied evenly). All fan and CPU settings are set too 100%.
My MOBO has been updated to the latest BIOS which is F9c.
Unless someone has had a similar issue and managed to fix it and could shed some light upon this how do I go about underclocking my CPU?
Everything is set to auto apart from XMP. CPU volt sits at between 1.34x to 1.37x depending on load.
Do I just follow a standard overclocking guide, but instead of increasing cores just lower voltage to see where my stability is?
I tried prime95 without AVX and CPU hits 100c in less than 5 mins.
