Is my 13600k supposed to run this hot when rendering videos?

[jensen123]

Hello, I recently upgraded to a 13600k and was very satisfied with the performance. Games ran noticably better and the temps seemed normal (80C max). Then I tried rendering a video of mine and all hell broke loose; my 9700k would hit around 80C while rendering while this thing would fly up to mid 90s and at peak hit 99C after about 5mins, so I got scared and cancelled the rendering. As far as I know 100C is the max safe temperature and mid 90s seems like flying very close to the sun. I wanted to know if this was normal or should I be worried? What can I do?

 

My specs are:

 

Mobo: MSI PRO Z690-A

CPU: Intel i5-13600k

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5200 CL40

GPU: MSI GAMING Z TRIO GeForce RTX 3080 10GB LHR

Case: Lancool 2 Mesh

That chip runs very hot. I am not surprised...

TBH 99C for a bit is probably safe, but you take a performance hit. That being said, even 80C is a bit high while gaming. Can you remove the cooler and check the thermal paste application? Could be under pasted. When reinstalling it make sure all the spacers are the same, the plate is well seated, and you tighten the screws evenly (i.e. tighten each a little bit at a time until desired pressure is applied)

Actually, you know what ... I just fixed it. I used Task Menager to limit it to 10 cores and it stays below 80C.

Thanks for the reply but I think I just fixed it. I used Task Manager to limit Vegas Pro to 10 cores and now it stays under 80C. I'm guessing that limits rendering performance but I usually render over night while I sleep, so it doesn't matter to me.

In the bios find cpu lite mode and change to mode 5 and try again
