![]() So what you're saying is that I could have possibly gotten a CPU from the lower end of the batch that runs hotter.īut what do I do next? Can I undervolt my CPU with my current mobo ? (there's a manual option in BIOS but doesn't really let me choose a value, only for DRAM). So I kinda panicked when I saw it reaching up to 78C, even if it would drop to 60-70 later. I'm using a Thermaltake Riing Silent 12 cooler and people reported running this in under 60C for games. Doesn't seem to be doing much though My original purpose was to find out if the crazy temperatures spikes/voltage are coming somehow from the motherboard (initially after I installed the CPU, turbo boost wasn't working and it was stuck Ghz, but then I did a BIOS default reset and started working) or due to my incompetence of mounting the cooler. I did read a bit yesterday and found several posts which mentioned that having close to 1.5 voltages are detrimental to the CPU and was worried because the voltage seems high during windows operation and also sometimes the temperature seems to be fluctuating like I don't have a Z motherboard, I'm using an ASUS Prime Couldn't find an MCE option, all I could find was a "CPU power enhancement" one and disabled it. I did a short miss in my post, it's actually an i5-9600kf, not sure if the lack of onboard gpu support makes things any different. Mostly though, stock voltage settings are not entirely your friend, and are generally somewhat higher than necessary, doing nothing but adding to heat output, raising temps. It's not uncommon for older cpus to do a basic multiplier bump up 400-500MHz and not change any other setting, simply because stock voltages are high enough to accommodate the speeds. That's the basic form of overclocking, finding best speeds at best temps with lowest voltages to remain stable. Being as stock voltages are set way high, this leaves room to lower voltages until you do become unstable, then bump up 1 or 2 notches. Intel guarantees that your pc at stock settings will be stable. Intel isn't about to test every single cpu to determine what the exact needs are, so they choose a higher than needed voltage, to cover every cpu, no matter how different. Another cpu might have higher expectations, another lower. ![]() So being unique, it has its own exact requirements. Some in the same model are extremely close, but others are somewhat different. ![]()
