10900K cooling

[HardStroke]

So after a bit of overclocking I see that my h100x is not really ideal for a 10900K on 5.2GHz on all cores

neither on 5.1GHz

voltage is pretty low, around 1.3 at 5.1GHz

C20 toasts the cpu

Rendering also toasts the cpu

When I launch games like FH5 the cpu is pinned at 100c until I'm in the game

When I play games like csgo, minecraft, bl3, forza, nfs, boneworks the cpu is at 70-80c and it gets REALY REALLY hot in the room really fast

Should I get a new 360mm rad?

I was thinking about LIAN-LI's Galahad 360 AIO, its 168 bucks

Or maybe the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360, this one is 122 bucks

Case is Corsair's 275R Airflow so ill probably have to mount it at the front which I'm not really a fan of but I don't think it'll fit at the top

and ill have to get a cpu fan header splitter 

Is it really worth the money?

Arctic Freezer would be a better option, Although do note that the cpu is a hot chip. 70-80c is normal for gaming and yeah, you are gonna get a hot room with a decent desktop, ventilation is key

I have a i9 10900k and i9 10900kf and they use EK 360mm AIOs.

They are setup to use TVB in games so they stay below 70c.

 

I did test them overclocked using Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility and they were stable even at 5.3ghz. They used 320 watts and were in the 90s so more cooling would be needed.

In games 5.1ghz was about the same as using TVB and 5.2ghz was only slightly better.

The surprising thing is they never crashed even at 5.3ghz. 

 

If I was to run them overclocked I would do a push-pull setup using my Corsair 5000d since there is room to do it on top.

They used 320 watts

I converted the wattage to BTU (considering processors loose more than 90% of that figure through heat dissipation)

 

320w = roughly 1090 BTU an Hour. Yeah, 90c+ sounds right!!

I have the 2 fans at the front that came with the case

one at the back and 2 at the top

side panel is off since I have my GPU in the "flex" (vertical) position and it runs around 5c cooler like that

its a 3 slot card and I'm using that case's mount so I cant close the panel

What are you voltage settings

I have it on Fixed Voltage

1.37

Turbo LLC

vsssa vccio 1.2

All cores on 51, 1 core all the way to 10 active cores

Ring at 48

Power limits off

In games the voltage is around 1.38-1.4

Under a full load its around 1.3-1.32

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

motherboard is z490 Vision G

Stock (auto voltage) was around 1.4 @ 4.9GHz @ 90c

Dialed the voltage manually and got 1.21 @ 4.9GHz @ 70c

240 rad is not really enough for an OC on this chip.

 

You can try to improve temps by mounting as intake vs. exhaust

 

I've got a 360 and it's not much better than a 240, just takes longer to soak and is a little quieter.

A quieter pc will be nice since its like 5cm from me

I don't really remember. I start at 1.27 and don't go past 1.34. 

 

I don't think you are doing anything wrong except having improper cooling.

To be straight with you I would not put a 240mm rad on anything. I go to air with a D-15 instead and even a D-15 is a fail with an i9 10900k.

 

I think a 360mm AIO would be fine. I would get a Freezer or an EK since they are cooler than most. I use EKs.

For a case get something that has the room to push-pull or an over sized radiator.  

I use Lian Li Dynamics. The have plenty of room up top.

My 360 is set up as a side intake of my 5000d airflow.

 

Temps are good, 5.1ghz minimum 5.3ghz max (up to 4 cores), fixed 1.375v, middle LLC setting. At full CPU load, it drops to 1.29v.

 

CBR23 looped test max 83c, Realbench for an hour 87c.

 

No wheas. No crashes. In games it's usually under 70. Sometimes shader optimization can spike it to the mid 80s.

 

But all of that is within spec and the 80c+ sessions are short.
