Hey guys,

I received my new CPU today and setup and what not..

I just there, done a quick blast of BattleField 5, and when I finished the session the temps on the CPU were crazy! :eek::eek:

What is the best way to sort this? BIOS CPU fan curve?

I have a Noctua NH-U12S cooler on a push / pull, but at stock settings.


Cheers.
 
Fan profile 40C/40%, 50C/70%, 60C/100% should help as a starting point.

Does Core Temp show all the other helpful stuff that HWiNFO does? If not, give it a try and look at the voltages, total power draw etc.

Is it completely at stock or did you tweak? If you had another CPU in the board might be worth clearing CMOS to rule something out on that front.

Undervolting might be in order if the board is pumping a fair bit at stock, or if the U12S can't handle it all that well.
 
Just remembered BFV uses some AVX. If so, that's another angle to investigate. Could be that those temps in the 80s were just brief bursts and those temps would be expected from a 10-core using AVX (even if if gaming).

hey danny,

thanks, I will give that a blast tomorrow, it’s completely at stock atm..

how is undervolting? Easy enough if I end up having to do so??

yeah, as I understand that BFV is quite intense on the CPU..and like you said, being 10 core doesn’t help lol!

Shouldn't be too hard. Like overclocking but instead you leave clocks as they are and reduce Vcore to see how much you can get away with. I haven't played with the Tomahawk (is it Z490 or Z590?) to see which method works best with it (Fixed/Adaptive/Offset). Have a Z590 Pro Wifi.

Something going on there? What max voltage is showing in CPU-Z when playing BFV? my temps are much lower with 5ghz+ OC. Maybe fix volts at 1.170v and 4.8ghz see what happens?
 
hey guys,

football finished, so time to sort this rig! :D

I made a more aggressive CPU fan profile in the BIOS. So will tinker with it for temps.

One thing though, there was a setting for either a "Air Cooler" or a "AIO" giving different settings, it was on "AIO" so I changed that also to the "Air Cooler" setting, dont know how much of a difference it will make??
 
:confused: Issue: Just fired up a game of BFV to see how the temps cope with the new fan curve..I changed to future Frame Rendering and Setting the seytings to 1440p Ultra, and it was capped at 120 FPS and never dropped once, so I think the FPS issue is sorted..But..

I had to close the game quick when I looked at my cooler, the fans on the Noctua stopped spinning :eek:.. soon as I quit and went straight back to the desktop they started again?? WTF??

Here are the results from that session, not any better than before :(

I have a Corsair 240mm AIO coming tomorrow, from a competitor (OCUK was out of stock). Will give that a go, plus I always liked the space saving aspects of AIO compaired to bif fan setups..
 
Something could be wrong with the fans or fan header but also have you checked the fan profile wasn't set to something like "System" instead of "CPU"?

The "air cooler" v "AIO" is for the power limits.
 
all comet lake cpus out of box run super hot regardless, a 14nm + node plus 10 cores things are gonna get very warm very quickly, i'd say you need to lower your voltages and beef up your cooling to get the cpu under some kind of control, try setting a manual cpu ratio in the 45-46 region and keep backing off the voltage until you get a crash. At each stage test in a game and see if your tempratures improve and see if the pc is stable too

above 80 degrees in games is hot but it is within thermal conditions, dont try running any kind of cpu intensive benchmarks as i suspect the cpu will pass 100 degrees and cause your pc to shutdown

case airflow is critical too, i've just seen you have a 3080 ti as others above have said that card will dump a tonne of heat into the case, fe or aib under load so be sure to setup excellent airflow and custom curves so at load they spin up to cope and back off when idle
 
hey guys,

thanks for all the input..i received my new AIO today, I just finished installing it, let it settle on the desktop for an hour, then I have fired up a quick game of BFV multiplayer again to compare (somewhat) against yesterdays "sauna"..

Highest core was 74c, and during game i was watching the temps on the second monitor, and during, it was averaging over the 10 cores around 55-60c. Happy with that TBH!

Yep..I think things have settled down with the new AIO now..just finished a game of COD Cold War, was getting an average of 220-240 FPS on 1440p @ high / ultra.. happy with that :)

And checked HWInfo and AfterBurner once I quit out, and happy to report, while remaining scary quiet, my temps were peaking on the 10850K @ 68c on the hottest core, and the GPU was 98-99% utilised and was peaking at 61c! :eek:
