Hello All,

Before you say anything... I know that the "Power Hungry Beast" that is the 13900k has been spoken about no end... but im struggling to find what im after so wondering if anyone could shed some light¬

My newly build 13900k is idling at 35 on average, 43 with minimal load and on Path of Exile (game) its thermal throttling by reaching 100 degrees.

Playing Cyberpunk on Max Settings, DLSS on "Quality" and Raytracing on "Physco" the CPU spike at around 80.

Water Pump temps rise to 39 Degrees from 28 on idle, meaning there is a good contact to the cpu and AIO is functioning as intended.

My question is... should such an old game be reaching thermal throttling?

My specs are as follows:

i9 1300k @ factory clock, 240 Corsair AIO, "Balanced" windows power settings
MSI Carbon Wifi DDR 5 Mobo
RTX 4090 Suprim X
32GB DDR5 Corsair Dominator (6200Mhz /w XMP)
1TB Samsung
1000W MSI PSU
Decent Push-Pull configuration in LianLi Evo 011D - 7 Case Fans + Two on AIO

I'm really happy to test and provide anything you guys need in terms of helping me with this potential issue... I am a bit old school whereby I glace at this temparature whilst gaming and poop my pants.. xD

Looking forward to your responses, and please feel free to treat me like an idiot ;)
 
That's got to be a record between joining and first post!

Have you checked the power limits in the BIOS. Might be that your motherboard is set to something crazy high by default.

Haha! This is an account I managed to recover... pretty sure I have posted and replied before, however this must be the wrong account! Oh well! :p

I havent checked the powerlimits as of yet, however please see my screenshot below after running cinebench on multicores for 8 mins:

cinebench1

Is this something you'd expect to see or is it underperforming?

I don't think thermal throttling is unusual in CB. Hardware Unboxed mentioned it in their review. I'm sure fellow Intel owners can provide better advice.

It's more Path of Exile thats my concern, I expect thermal thottling in CB but thanks for your replies and the videos :)
 
Go into the bios and limit the performance to CPU defaults
Your motherboard is giving the CPU more power than it needs. Once you've set it to adhere to the CPU's default config you can then give the CPU a negative offset to help temps even further

Any 240 AIO will struggle though, even 360 AIO's can barely keep temps stable, especially without restricting the CPU to the default config

Go into bios and change the AIO cooling option to Air cooling this will limit the PL1 and PL2 limits. This should help and disable MCE aka multi core enhancement.

Thankyou all for your replies, its really appreciated - I think I just wanted to make sure that my CPU is okay and what is expected!

I will action the above and run another test and let you know the outcome!
