13900k heat issues

[Ndogg]

I have a 13900k cooled by a NH-U12a in a fractal torrent and I am getting to 95 degrees whenever I use cinebench. I re applied my thermal paste and nothing changed. It gets up to 70 sometimes while using easy tasks like chrome. I turned off multi core enchantment and under volted it -.075 but still is pretty hot.Is this normal for a 13900k or will it damage my cpu?

A nhd15 can barely cool a 13900k let alone a nhu12s.

 

Get a better cooler as as of right now its basically thermal throthlling.

Yeah you are trying to cool one of the hottest chips on the market with a cooler with a tdp rating well under what is required to cool the cpu. You will need a much better cooler if you want to properly cool your cpu.

you need a better cooler. I use a U12A with a thermal grizzly contact frame for the CPU and it manages to cool a 12700KF with not much headroom to spare. Not something that can handle a 13900K.

Noctuas website says it should work for overclocking. Sadly I can’t get a dh15 because my ram is too tall.

Noctua has a tdp rating but their tdp rating, intels, nvdias, amds,... are all different. Dont believe claims on a site from the manufacturer look at reviews.

 

Its been tested and a nhd15 at max fan speed in a good airflow case can keep a stock 13900k between 90-95c.

 

What ram do you have?

Unless you power limit and/or undervolt, that cooler will not be sufficient for that powerful of a chip.

Noctua doesn't have a TDP rating, they go into great detail why cooler TDP ratings don't work, in fact.

I have 64gb of Corsair dominator platinum ddr5 at 5200mhz

Welp, guess the desire for looks will require you to go liquid if you want good cooling

Temps are normal and perfectly fine.

No, it's not. The 13900k operating temp is up to 100c.

The NH-U12A is better than the NH-U12S and not far off from the NH-D15.

So those temps should not damage the cpu?

the u12a can handle 135-150w at most and the d15 should be about 175-200w at most, the 13900k is a 320w chip, you'll need a temp or power limit or a new cooler. 95C is within spec but it will be thermal throttled.

Thermal throttling does not start until a core reaches 100°C. There is no throttling at 95°C or even at 99°C.
