i9 7900X Temps on air

[Molesy]

Hey guys,

 

Just wondering what temps i should expect on a i9 7900X with a Noctua NH-D15 the idle temps are around 28-35*C  and the load temps are 75-85*C I have an Asus X299 Prime Deluxe. i have XMP enabled but everything else is on Auto. i can see the while on load the cpu is running at about 4.3Ghz on all cores. 

 

Thanks !

That's alright.

Unfortunately if it's not delidded you will not see better temps even if you put the best cooling solution here.

Without De-lidding and placing under an AIO that's probably about right

damit intel why did you move from a solder based IHS to a thermal paste IHS.  i was hoping the NH-D15 would be good enough to keep the temps at around the 60-70*C on load at stock speeds. I was considering a AIO but they also can get quite loud and i had a bad experience with an AIO in the past. Well i wont be delidding it at the moment. i guess i will have to connect the case fans to the case fan controller instead of the MB headers. case atm if the cpu is on load it starts ti sound like a jet engine next to me   Would changing the Thermal paste from the one provided by noctua to an artic silver 5 help in any way?  

 

I am currently using some Corsair ML120 fans on the NH-D15 hope that will help with better heat dissipation but i guess the main issue is between the Die and the IHS.

The stuff that comes from Noctua is actually pretty decent if honest with you. The problem is under the IHS and Intel even with there HEDT lineup deciding too use what can be described as toothpaste is the problem
