motherboard is MSI and I keep turbo boost and turbo boost 2.0 off because the amount of rev’ing that my PC does even when idle was bothering me. I understand when doing something CPU intensive like running WoW but why does it randomly rev when idle. Also is it safe? I have an AIO to cool the CPU but when monitoring my temps I see some cores hit 100°C then drop immeditately…is this normal?
I guess what I’m trying to ask is, is it okay/safe to keep Turbo boost+Turbo boost2.0 on 24/7. Thank you
Yes. CPUs now days a have a thermal limit they kind of “chase” along with a boost frequency. Its called a Boost Algorithm. Its differant on AMD and Intel but they both do it. If this is upgrade from say a 9900k or earlier it explains why it makes you nervous. Its just how newer CPUs work. The days of just OCing a CPU to a flat frequency it will run at 24/7 are gone. Its all about Undervolting with Boost Algorithms now.
If temps bother you than you could slap a 360 AIO on it if you having already. The 13900k practically requires one. You can install Core Temp or HWinfo to minitor your CPU Temp. Dont focus on your CPU Boost Temps. Focus on your “Average Temp”
100C there is something severely wrong. My 9800X3D never goes above 65, even at full load, and I’m using an air cooler.
It’s not just a software problem, because even at full tilt a CPU should never run that hot if you have adequate cooling. Perhaps the AIO isn’t installed correctly, perhaps it’s not large enough, or perhaps the thermal paste isn’t installed correctly. Or maybe the CPU is damaged from Intel’s over-volt issue on the 13 and 14 series.
so just so you guys understand…It’s not always revving but sometimes will spike randomly for a few seconds then rev back down this happens a lot since I turned off turbo boost and turbo boost 2.0 I don’t have this problem…I bought a new AIO that I i need to install and try so when I do I’ll update
Turning off turbo boost its going to make your CPU not boost as much if not at all.
Your cpu boost from to 5.8 with stock setting you will only boost to 5.3. Or it may just sit at its base clock most of the time. I don’t know why you’d want to thank your performance like that but to each their own. I mean if you’re going to disable that you might as well save a bunch of money and just get the 13700k
Literally all you had to do was Google this behavior my friend. It’s really not something you want to disable but you do need to be on a really good cooler for that CPU. If however you were only disabling until you get a better cooler that makes complete sense
I’ll just add a few things to check, since I just came in here and don’t know what has and hasn’t been checked yet. Hopefully this is helpful.
Do you know what model of AiO cooler you have installed?
Also, is the AiO completely covering the entire surface of the 13900KF chip, and is the thermal paste properly spreading and covering every corner, entire surface, etc.
If I remember correctly, the 13900 chips were a bit larger. ( rectangular )
Also, ( I know this might sound dumb ) but did you remove the plastic film off of the aio copper plate…? ( I’ve heard this happen for some folks where they didn’t realize they forgot the plastic film on during installation. Rare, but it can happen by accident if rushing. )
Just hoping to add to the things to check, sometimes it’s the small issues that get overlooked. : )
Hope this is helpful. And if not, hopefully shifty can help. It looks like some things were already being discussed in here.
