I recently built a Z790 / 13700KF setup (air cooled with a DeepCool AK620). I know these chips run hot, so I've been looking at undervolting it.
At stock voltages, it hits 100C in 5-10 seconds when running Cinebench multi core. Undervolting by 0.065v or so (adaptive) helps a little, in that it takes maybe 30 secs longer to hit 100C, but it still hits 100C and then pretty much stays there. I've tried undervolting further, right down to -0.16v but, although it's stable, it doesn't seem to bring temps down any further.
In the videos I've watched on YT, they're typically bringing their temps down in Cinebench by 5C or more, so I'm not sure what I'm missing really. I know an air cooler isn't going to work miracles with these CPUs, but the DeepCool had decent reviews. I've tried reapplying thermal paste, which helped marginally but again not significantly.
Appreciate any help![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)
