High i9-9900k temps

[Reddax]

Hi,

My 9900k is reaching temps of around 93 degrees when at load, testing with handbrake. I've just re-seated the cooler with new thermal paste and getting the same temps.

I've attached images to show the temps, and also my bios settings which is mainly defaults. I have XMP enabled to run my ram as 3000mhz.

 

Specs:

 

Ram: Corsair CMK32GX4M2D3000C16 16gb x 2 (32gb total)

Motherboard: Z390-A Pro

CPU Cooler: BE QUIET Dark Rock 4

CPU: i9-9900k

It's entirely possible you just really lost the silicon lottery.

I would take the cooler off and reseat it. It should not be that high at all. The heat issues with the 9900k are overblown. The cooler is most likely not making complete contact with the CPU.

I did this on the day of the posting, I took it off, alcohol wiped both surfaces, put on a slightly bigger than pea sized blob of thermal and tightened it down tightly.

A BE QUIET Dark Rock 4 200 watt cooler is not what I would use with a i9 9900k. A BE QUIET Dark Rock 4 250 watt is.

 

If you are using multicore enhancement a 200 watt cooler would cook a i9 9900k. 

 

I have an issue with your motherboard choice as well.

Both of these were bought from amazon so they can get returned in change for something else if these are the issue.

This is the cooler that I have; https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BYP9S95/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I cant see anywhere it mentioning 200 watt or 250 watt? EDIT: nevermind, i see it in the pic

Also in short what's up with my motherboard? what do you recommend?

[jones177]

Here is the 250 watt version.

Brill, thanks.

How about this motherboard?

I used the Ultra but the Elite would do.

Bought and installed both the elite motherboard and pro cooler and it seems the temperatures have gotten worse somehow?

How much thermal paste are you using?

 

People have proven too much doesn't really hurt anything but mess, but too little can be bad.

I used almost the entirety of the paste you get with the BE QUIET Dark Rock 4 PRO, almost double pea sized.

Try hwinfo64 and report results

the temps look about right for 170w, though that's how much i use for 4.9avx, not 4.7, all 9900k should be able to run 4.7 at about 135w, you can lower the voltage quite a bit as long as it's stable, don't bother changing the cooler or mobo just yet.

 

I'd start with 1.2v 4.7 and if that's not stable, do 4.6. you really arent missing much. The mobo is pumping way too much to the cpu at stock.

 

R20 is all i have installed atm, but you can see 165w~4.9 avx around 85C, ambient is about 20C. I didn't have the best silicon lottery, so u should at least be able to run 4.7 on a lower voltage. 165w 4.7 is way too much, unless that's prime fft, or max heat.

 

Edit: if you are running prime FFT that's overkill

Something is wrong. Your minimum temps (idle?) are 60c. Unless you live in the Mojave I think your cooler installation is suspect.

now that u mentioned it his minimum multi is also 47x, something equivalent to MCE is on plus overkill stock voltage likely.

maybe....my idle multiplier is 50x but at idle its like 13w or something on my 8700k.

 

not sure why at idle so much power would be going through his cpu

This is what I get with an i9 9900k and an Aorus Ultra with a Noctua NH-D15. The Dark Rock 4 PRO should perform the same. 

 

Make sure multicore enhancement is turned off.

It is on by default.
