14700K Overheating

[Griff7520]

Here are my settings, bare in mind I have a custom loop 1x360 rad.





I manually set pl1 pl2 to 253
Manual set sa voltage to 1.2
and manual minus 0.070v undervolt.

gets 40 to 50c during long gaming sessions on hll

you may get a few ideas from these settings. Not familiar with a 760 board so not sure what restrictions you have.

Hope it helps.

What happens if you take the panel(s) off the side of the case? If the temps drop significantly you have an airflow problem

Thanks again mate, I'm done with the offset and went with what you said adding in limits to power for Pl1 and 2, leaving it at 220w for now. Did a 30min stability test on cinebench and maxed out at 98c. Gaming it's not getting anywhere near that now. I was so close to buying a new case, new cooler and PSU or even moving to AMD in frustration.

No problem. I’d say that 98c is probably still a bit higher than what you want. I started off with setting the power limits at 253w and ended up working my way down to 180w. I havent really noticed any loss in performance, certainly none in gaming, a little bit when rendering video but nothing really noticeable.

Hi man thanks for the response,

XTU doesn't work for me.

"There are a few things that you can do. On your motherboard do you have two EPS 12v connectors in the top left usually. Plug them both in if you haven't."

Holy **** I only have one plugged in! I dont think I had the other connecter on my PSU as it's like 10+ years old now. Might be a stupid question is this going to cause me issues?

is your motherboard a newer one. I am not familiar with those board and suspect they are a functional board but little in the way overclocking etc.

If you have one EPS 12V then you will have not any issues. The problem arises if you are not aware that ASU’s loves to override intel setting and pump as many volts in as it likes.

I have used Asus since I started to build my own PC’s and they have always been like that.

I don’t know why it is when you plug in 2 EPS 12v the temps are slightly lower. For those with two just pull one out and see what happens. The temps will increase slightly.

My main two motherboards are the z690 strix formula and z790 strix formula and I also have a z690-a d4 strix which is my muck around motherboard and test bench.

When I first got the 12900k on release I couldn’t control the temps and what not. It was insane then I dived into bios and xtu and after a lot of trial and error learned what’s what. 13900k is even hotter still and the 14900k well let’s just say that was tricky to cool.

The 14900k will draw some where in the region of 400w+ if you don’t keep a look out for what happening in bios.

The 12900k draws just over 300w if not put in check and the 13900k will do iirc 350w.

Also my 12900k is quite a good chip it allows me to run -0.01v which allows it to run cooler than my 12700k as that only lets me do -0.002v before crapping the bed. But there are loads of other little bios tweaks you can do to get it down further. Get your setup stable and then go from there.

You shouldn't see much difference in gaming even down to 125w. Multithread workloads will suffer though. 180-200w is a good number to settle at.

You shouldn't see much difference in gaming even down to 125w.

With a 4080 or above performance GPU you'll probably see fair difference below ~150-160 watt or so in some games, depending on game and resolution, etc. for multi-threaded loads I generally see it topping out around 246 watt, anything below 200 watt would probably see a fair performance decrease. Only synthetic benchmarks really push sustained 250+ watt loads.

ASUS have recently added an option in the BIOS (I Believe its under AI Tweaker that is called Intel Baseline Settings) this has helped a lot with temps on these and the 14900K CPUS. They are a very hot running CPU but i do find that even when they are running hot and they are reporting that the cpu is throttling the performance drop is tiny as it only throttles for a small amount of time. 95-100+ degrees with an air cooler while running synthetic benchmarks such as prime/aida64 are common.
