10700 new CPU Thermal Throttle at 65c!

Hey guys,

Built my brother a small PC just gonna be used for streaming and browsing etc. Its a 10700 non K model and an H410M Motherboard. Just got it all up and running no gfx card yet as hard to get hold of.

For some reason the CPU is throttling at 60-65c. I've tried updating Bios and all drivers done a fresh install.

It goes up to 4.6ghz all core for about 40 secs then in the Intel Extreme Tune software it flags up Thermal Throttle and it then jumps from 700mhz to 4ghz bouncing around all over the shot.

Any one got any ideas??
 
@Danny75 Its a Gigabyte H410M the CPU is being cooled by a Noctua U12s. I know this CPU can't be overclocked but shouldn't be having thermal issues at 60c. I've tried mucking around with the p1 and p2 states and can't seem to sort it :(

I don't think it's the CPU. I think it's the motherboard thermal limit throttling the CPU which the software might then interpret as CPU thermal throttling. Easy test = get a spare fan plugged in and aim it at the VRMs while you run a benchmark. See if it throttles less.
 
@Danny75 I'll aim a fan at it now. I wouldn't mind if it set it down at a set frequency. But jumping from 700mhz then back up again constantly is stupid.

H410M S2H I just want it running the cpu at stock. Trying to see if there is board limits or something in bios.
 
Yeah probably some setting in the BIOS to remove the power limit.

Hi! i have the i7 10700 on a gigabyte H410M S2H and i have seen that if i remove the power limits on the bios i can run this cpu at max turbo boost all the time, until my workload is done, but the cpu draws 224w with the power limits disabled. i wonder if it is safe to just remove the limits and let it run hot without having long term ploblems with the motherboad.

can you help me with that? any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you for the article.

Certainly wouldn't risk so much power draw on that board but apparently it can be done.

Any idea what this setting is called? I'd be happy just it sitting at 4ghz all core instead of jumping down to 700mhz

Never used that board but have a look in Advanced Mode - Tweaker and change the Turbo settings from Auto to either Disabled or Enabled etc. Some might be counter-intuitive, or not...
 
@Danny75 No luck with anything. I've tried changing the PL1 and PL2 limits in Bios to increase boost power. No sign of anything to do with power limiting in bios, looked all through the advanced settings.

After 30-40 secs running CPUZ bench or intel tune bench the temp gets to around 60ish and then Thermal Throttle flags up in the Intel tune software and the CPU goes from 7W back to 65W over and over again while the clock speed is all over the place.

Also in Throttle stop software it keeps saying BD PROCHOT every time the CPU falls back to 7W.

I don't get this all saying the CPU is hot when its temps are low 60s.
 
Nope none, Anything that I saw with limit has been disabled. I just got HWinfo on and notices the Vrm Mos are hitting 100c, would this cause the issue I'm seeing? Anyway to lower the voltage going into them easy?

Yes. Did you try the fan suggestion and did it help a little?

I would doubt that board allows voltage control but I don't know for sure.

You could try lowering the speedstep frequency... if the BIOS won't allow it you could do it through Windows Power settings (test with 95% max etc). That way, in theory, the VRMs wouldn't get so hot that it would have to lower the speed all the way down to 700MHz till it cools down.
