My pc is getting too hot, i think(help)

Just googled it.
5.30 GHz are the official specifications for Turbo Boost.

Lets take what toms hardware says…

Intel rates the processor for 250W at peak performance, and we even measured peaks as high as 325W at out-of-the-box settings. Naturally, that results in a lot of heat.

Intel does have a few tricks to deal with the resulting heat and improve overclocking, like thinning the die and using a thicker heat spreader, but cooling is still a significant challenge. The 10900K’s high power consumption even overwhelmed our 280mm watercooler during some tasks, so you’ll need a brawny cooler to handle the increased heat output.

Later in the article about that processor…

The Core i9-10900K’s ten cores and 20 threads operate at a 3.7 GHz base frequency when all cores are loaded, but that can improve to 4.8 GHz via the normal Turbo Boost, and up to 4.9 GHz via Intel’s Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) feature. TVB is yet another layer to Intel’s boost mechanism, but according to Intel, it only engages if the processor remains below 70C. However, we found that the all-core TVB frequency routinely engages regardless of chip temperature, which means motherboard vendors are still free to largely ignore Intel’s power recommendations (functionality will vary by board).

OP obviously needs to tone those settings down since he doesnt seem to quite understand what he is doing, but that rig should be able to handle it, so something IS wrong.

Nah 10900K can run at 5.0Ghz all day no problem. It will automatically boost up to 5.3Ghz as need be. Even if you overclock it poorly manually it will shutdown and restart automatically.

Something is wrong cooling wise or the CPU needs to be slightly undervolted as it’s being fed too much juice for the clockspeed and producing excess heat.

They can with a liquid cooling setup.

Which OP does not have.

He does.

Then it isn’t working like it should.

I thought he didn’t from the thermal paste comments he was making.

100 on the CPU is a problem, you’ll experience thermal throttling and the CPU will downclock heavy until temperatures are reduced.

It sounds like you’re overclocked. Did you manually overclock or has this been done for you from factory?

These temperatures are fine.

The CPU temps should be addressed as this will affect performance. The CPU it’s self is likely perfectly safe as it’ll just pull power when it needs. But the in game experience won’t be great when it does this. Assuming you cooling system is mounted properly I have to assume that 5.3Ghz number is an all core overclock?

I would probably start by investigating the overclock, how has it been applied. How much voltage is being used. There are forums and guides available for all popular CPU’s which can help with baselines on how this sort of thing should look. You can save significant temperature by properly dialing an overclock in. But this takes time and know how, you could also try dropping back to 5.1ghz instead of 5.3 - you won’t notice much difference but you can reduce voltage considerably and save temperature.

Your CPU temp is way too high, GPU temp is good. Maybe replace the cooling on CPU with a normal fan (I use Cooler Master) although check it’s compatible with your CPU + a bit of thermal paste?

OP has an AIO. That is a closed loop liquid cooler. That being said an NH D-15 would do a better job and that’s air cooled.

Yeah, my bad, anyway, 100 is higher than it should be, so, yeah, something better in the cooling department would help.

It is a nice setup though :slight_smile:

cpu’ s temperature and socket temperature it is like 77degrees at max. I heard you should not trust your cpu’s displayed temperature and be careful about the socket’s one; am I right?
Over the internet says it will never be accurate the temp from CPu’s, the one from socket’s it is accurate.

Use HWinfo64, look for the CPU package sensor, core Max works as well.

Intel(R) Core™ i9-10900K
This thing always gets pretty hot especially in 10th generation. But from my experience it shouldn’t really peak above 90°C.
If it is constantly above 90°C, the cooling is probably not good enough.

That’s alright and normal.

what cooling system do you recommend me, do i have to buy a bigger case?

yes, it has warranty yet. and i think the same, it’s about cooling or airflow, however it has an external fan, but even if I turn the external big fan off, the temp stay almost the same.

Ok, so from the top.

Nothing is going to just break.

Your CPU is running a bit hot but it will thermal throttle on it’s own to ensure nothing gets damaged. That’s how they are designed. If you can fix your CPU temps, then your GPU temps will probably get a bit better because the air in the case won’t be as hot.

Several things to check here.

Make sure your liquid cooler is plugged into a pump header and not a fan header.

Make sure your fans are orientated in the correct direction (especially radiator fans). Meaning : intake at the bottom and front, and exhaust at the top and rear.

Ensure there was sufficient thermal paste applied and that there is good contact. Also make sure the cooler was tightened sufficiently and evenly.

These CPU’s also tend to be overvolted by their motherboard and you could keep the same clocks and same performance but with lower heat buildup by undervolting the CPU a bit.

I don’t know, only a different one, or just get into the bios and tell it to run a little slower. If it doesn’t impact your play, then, it is fine.

nice and what about the says over internet
It say I should not worry about my cpu core temperature’s display and I must worry about my socket temperature’s one?

my cpu core display are 88 to 100 degrees and my socket is under 77 degrees at max.

Those temps aren’t bad. My toaster gets up to 109 at it’s hot spot.

CPU temps are somewhat accurate just use HWinfo to monitor temps, it’s about as accurate as you can get.
