High Temps with 360 AIO Cooler (i7 13700k)

[kevinj93]

I recently finished building my next gen PC. Everything went fine except the temps are very high during stress tests and general usage.

 

Below some results:

 

Idle temps: 40c

Cinebench R23 temps: 100C (occurs within less than a minute)

Passmark tests: 97c (but very high CPU score)

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 13700k

Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360

Mobo: Gigabyte Z790-F gaming WiFi

RAM: 32GB G skill DDR5 CL32

GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3080 10GB OC

Case: Fractal Design Torrent

 

No settings edited in the BIOS. The pump is very loud during the stress tests.

 

How can I lower the temps without any CPU modifications (thermal contact frame etc ...) ?

you can undervolt, but maybe try a repaste first?

Assuming updated bios but you never know.

Assuming radiator fans spinning but you never know.

also assuming they plugged in the pump correctly, I've known a few do that wrong

Bios not updated.

 

The fans are spinning. I'll give the repaste a try. I only applied a pea sized paste but I doubt it's enough considering the size of LGA 1700 CPUs (sorry if this is a dumb reply)

and update bios, non-negotiable

[kevinj93]

Updated BIOS, enforced thermal limit to 90c in BIOS, no performance loss during stress tests.

it's amazing how much power Raptor lake can eat, and with more power comes more heat.

 

you should probably still think about repasting if you have the slightest doubt you used too little paste, remember, using a little too much is no big deal, that's what q-tips are for.

Sounds like things aren't flowing very well in your AIO. Maybe something got caught inside during manufacturing. Your CPU shouldn't be hitting 100 C period, let alone within less than a minute. 

 

I'd try an alternate cooler to be honest.

Silly me, apparently it was one of the chassis fans giving the loud noise. It's very close to the pump which made me confused.

@kevinj93How do you have the AIO and fans setup in that case (and just stock stuff ?). Is your AIO at the bottom, in the front ?, and do you use both 180x38mm stock fans, and where are they

That's exactly what new AMD and new Intel processors do (in general), and doubly so on specific motherboards that "unleash them". It's just the new normal xD they require "taming" newest HardwareCanucks video covered this nicely.

Those stock big fans perform quite well, but can be moderately-to-quite noisy doing so. If you're sensitive to/annoyed by the noise, there's different fans/fan setups that can match/slightly exceed the stock configuration in noise-normalized performance [especially the usually un-measurable noise] (with the parts you have).

Rad is at front, fans are exhaust, bottom fans are intake.

Oh your AIO is doing exhaust at the front ?, Did u have issues with GPU temps, or just wanted it setup like that from the start ?

 

Also, do u have a fan on the back of the case or just 2x180mm bot intake ? or do you have 140mm bot as intake (these are anemic as heck[from a noise-normalized perspective, from secondary noise issues, and compared to top 5 fans in the world*, not overall, not in general*)

I set it up like that from the start. GPU Maxes out at 76c during stress test with OC. I'll be adding another fan on the back later.

If u still have high CPU temp u can switch front to intake, and see if the GPU is fine.

If u've got stock 140mm on the bottom, getting higher performing fans would be a bigger benefit than an additional exhaust

Undervolt it bro I dropped my 13600k from 1.38v stock voltage to 1.15v and dropped 30c 

still stable in everything boards just cater for the worst cpus

Do you have it as offset voltage or static?

Offset, run r23 and see what ur voltage is at load then work out how much to take off to get it to 1.2v the. Test for stability and continue to reduce till u fail then put it back up a little
