Sounds like your situation is a lot better than mine.

I have seen my 13900K repeatedly hitting 100 °C, during building shaders in games.

Yikes!😳

Those are my AMD though so that's 5-10C lower allowed (85-95C) max temp compared to Intel. I'm sure I have screenshots somewhere of my 13700 temps (100C)but recall the max reaching 84C.

But yeah, that's unfortunate effect I've read about with the i9-1x900's. If you don't already have one, a contact frame can make a huge difference. It's also worth checking the BIOS that wattages are set manually.

While nothing terrible happened, my BIOS was power set to 'Auto/1200w', the only thing it did was result in higher than desirable temps, setting it to spec lowered temps down from the instant 95C.
 
I clicked a few of these and get a 404 error. Did you make them public?

I don't know how to get these links to instead be shown as images.
If you get a direct link to an image, then you can put it in the [img]link[/img] tags or click the little picture icon in the editing menu bar.

I don't know about Flickr, but imgur has a menu option for to get "sharing links", one of which is called BBCode. That has the [img] tags right in it, so you can just copy that directly into your post.

I don't know what's up with flickr, the images were uploaded publicly and all of my images on that account are "safe".
I am more accustomed to using imgur, but since I upload anonymously, I don't believe the images are hosted permanently.
The post is fixed, for now. Thank you for the heads up.

I've been posting via imgur for a couple years and all of my private posts are still visible via the "share" links. Just in case, I always keep local copies of everything I upload to it.

Yeah, the pictures are showing now, but you can post them without the frame like this:

How to do it:
  1. After you upload an image to imgur, mouse over it and you'll see a ... icon. Click that.
  2. Pick the Get share links menu item.
  3. copy the BBCode link, with the [img] tags.
  4. paste it into your forum post
 
It may take a bit more research on my part than that. I use ShareX to anonymously upload video and images to multiple hosting servers, but I'll poke at it a while and see.
I'm really not familiar with chatting on forums.
Eh, it's probably not worth worrying about, then. Your pics are fine as is.

The black machine is more along the lines of my aesthetic, but that external reservoir on the other machine is impressive! Thanks for sharing!
: )

Here's a pic of my rig. Yes, I know it is a complete mess as far as wiring goes and I probably should clean it up, but I haven't gotten around to it. 😉

It's outdated of course, but it still runs great. If all goes well, I plan to build a new rig sometime over the summer.
2025 and first time visiting thread, first post I read "It's outdated of course" and had to pg up to see date.😁
