Hello guys, I have the following build:
CPU: Intel Core i7 13700k
Motherboard: Asus Prime z790-p
Case: Corsair Airflow 5000d
CPU Cooler: DeepCool AK620
During a short browser CPU stress test (around 1 minute at 100% load I would say) my CPU reached 85 degrees. For my standards that kinda hot, I'm coming from an old CPU that would not go past 50 degrees, so I'm not sure if 85 degrees is too hot for a cpu.
The idle temps are anywhere from 30 to 40 degrees so I think I installed it correctly.
During gaming with 30% cpu usage I was having around 60 degrees.
When I first made this build, I went for an air cooler because there is less failure points and it requires less maintenance (and also I'm afraid that I get bad luck and the liquid leaks, even if it has a very low possibility of happening), but I'm not sure if an air cooler is enough to cool this CPU.
My question is: do you suggest to get an AIO water cooler (I would get an Arctic freezer II 360 or a Corsair equivalent) instead of the current air cooler I have.
1. Does the cooling performance of an AIO outweight the risk of it leaking?
2. Does running my CPU at close to 90 degrees reduce its lifespan?
Thanks for reading
