Just for completeness: CPU temp is 90 °C, package power 90W, and all cores are running constantly at 4.3 GHz.

Did you check (e.g. with HWMonitor) how much power your CPU actually uses? With the 65W limit you claim to have set in the BIOS, it should never get that hot. I'm a using 95W limit with the same CPU (also no delid, standard thermal paste, standard Noctua cooler) and my temps are lower than...

I had the very same issue on my Asus Z370I and could not find a solution on the web when I searched for it ~2 weeks ago, a couple of days later I'm reading this post here (!), tried it out, and no problems since then. Amazing - thanks a lot Ceski!!!

I don't have a direct comparison, but according to a number of reviews, it's actually running cooler than Kaby Lake, see e.g. https://www.computerbase.de/2017-11/intel-core-i7-8700-i5-8600k-test-auto-oc-ddr4/3/#abschnitt_temperaturen_kuehler_als_kaby_lake Obviously, a soldered heat spreader...

Mmm, mine is actually running pretty well even with the L9i stock fan. I am using a card board fan duct for it and did some adjustments in the Bios, mainly undervolting and fixed TDP limit (see some posts earlier for details). The system is quite silent and runs at full speed in pretty much all...

Yeah, the 65W TDP rating doesn't make much sense, as I have never seen the CPU operate at its base frequence of 3.2 GHz anyway: when there is no load, it directly goes into 800 MHz power-saving mode on all cores, and as soon as you have a load the frequency is pushed up to handle it until it...

I think this is just the case for k-type CPUs, as it's essentially overclocking. My 8700 boosted up to 4300MHz when all cores were used, which is according to specs. It definitely runs hotter than a R1700, and probably a bit hotter than an i7 7700. Apparently, Intel improved the TIM for Coffe...

Hi all, I have finally built a new PC in my DAN case and managed to get it running smoothly :-) Hardware is the following: i7 8700 (non-k) Coffee Lake 6-core CPU Noctua NH-L9i cooler ASUS ROG STRIX 370i motherboard 2x16GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200MHz CL14 DDR4 RAM Samsung 960 evo M2 500GB SSD...
