i9 13900k Temps

[F4LL3N]

Hey guys, 

 

New member here to the forums and I'm slightly terrified I just built my new pc wrong. 

I just built a i9 13900k 4090 build with a iQUE H170 ELITE w/ display with a 420mm radiator and my armoury crate app i have on it says that my cpu and everything while gaming is only reaching about 40degrees. I'm terrified that i didn't hook something up correctly and I'm not getting the right readings. Is there something I should check on to see if I did it correctly?

Use HWInfo to read temps, it's usually the most reliable. 

 

40c package temp wouldn't be completely unheard of though, especially if it's a lighter game, so it's probably correct.

download HWinfo/ HWmonitor or MSI Afterburner and see if the readings are the same.

Copy that.

I play CSGO, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, and haven't really tested it much further than that. I'll give the HWInfo

i reached 6.1Ghz all core during gaming such as BF2042 4k Ultra by disabling the ecores and hyperthreading to drop temps.  All of this on an AIO and not a cryocooler haha.  Have fun the 13900k is pretty robust.  But stock it's still pretty sweet.

Easy on the cpu games so not too surprising it would be chilly.

Apex is a heavier CPU game than other games ive heard. So I was wanting to make sure 100%. Im happy with the temps but just wanted to make sure.

Ehh its not that bad. Its considered a heavier battle royal but cpu wise it runs easily on even a i7 4770.
