Intel® Core™ i9-11900K Processor Temps

Hi everyone. I bought a prebuilt from ibuypower and it has been running fine but it kept crashing recently. I used 3dmark and I saw my cpu temp was getting up to 115c. I looked inside and the thermal paste was not covered at all. I put some mx-4 on it and it hasn't crashed since. However, the temperature while playing (Intel® Core™ i9-11900K Processor (8X 3.50GHz/16MB L3 Cache)) the temps while playing battlefield 2042 and cod vanguard have an average of 85c but go sometimes over 90c. Is this temperature okay or is there something I can do to cool the processor down more? Thanks.

It’s just 14nm doing its job

Welcome to the forums!!!

 

Take a picture of what the CPU cooler looks like and post it here. Probably an old Intel stock cooler as the 11900K is power hungry and a space heater all in one. Those temperatures after the fix are somewhat good but I'd personally want to see them below 80oC, preferably under 70oC.

That's not good. I would've called iBuyPower and ripped them a new one.

Those are fine, though it depends on the cooling solution they have for whether they should be any lower. Technically with Rocket Lake, anything below 105C is considered fine, though personally I don't like temps over 85 at peaks. That said, if the cooler they gave you is stock cooler like, there isn't really much you can do to help.

As already asked, what is the cooler used? The 11900k is difficult to cool and you would want a very very good cooler to keep it under control. Sounds like the OEM did a really shitty job of assembly if there was no TIM/was not mounted correctly.

Ita not the best picture but it's a Ibuypower 240mm liquid cooling systemIMG_20211127_122949198.thumb.jpg.c65fccd7f68f0829663f3c18a5dec4e0.jpg

~Snipped~

Is there plenty of airflow in the case?? Multi-Core Enhancement is most likely enabled to boost all core clocks so extra heat is going to be pumped out from the CPU. Did you make sure you used enough thermal paste, unlike iBuyPower?

I did the Penta dot method and it hasn't crashed yet. I made sure that it was spread out nicely.

Ok, that shouldn't be a problem then if you used that method and spread the paste out. Did you try adjusting the fan speeds on the radiator in BIOS? I don't know what IBP did or if anything at all.

I haven't tried that but thanks for that suggestion!

The Intel thermal throttling temperature specification for an 11900K is 100°C.

 

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/212325/intel-core-i911900k-processor-16m-cache-up-to-5-30-ghz.html

 

A manufacturer of prebuilt computers should not be increasing this to 115°C.

 

Have a look in the BIOS and consider setting the maximum temperature to the correct 100°C value.

A single dot of adequate size or small line over the cores is usually best. Kit Guru has a good pic of what is hiding under the heat spreader.

Tightening the cooler will provide an even spread with less chance of air pockets. 

 

The default voltage for Intel CPUs can be a little on the high side. Reducing the CPU core voltage can help reduce the CPU temperatures.

I've been seeing reports of some boards increasing tjmax to 115. It's really crazy how they're doing this.

On my Asus board, the Maximum Core Temperature setting is in the Ai Tweaker section. Intel says that 100°C is the maximum safe operating temperature. Intel does not guarantee long term stability of their processors at any temperature beyond that. It is best to set that to Auto.

ThrottleStop reports this correctly.
