*Using Core i9 13900K with e-cores disabled and all P cores clock at 5.6GHz with VCORE static set to 1.35 at LLC 6 on an MSI Z690 MEG Unify X motherboard.
*Using a Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler with 2 140mm fans running at 1000 RPM each and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste and also the Thermalright LGA 1700 BCF frame
*Using Be Quiet Silent Base 802 case with 3 140mm Silent Wings 3 intake fans all at 1000 RPM and 1 rear exhaust Silent Wings 3 140mm 1000 RPM fan (Using mesh front panel with dust filter removed for better air flow though have top with seal panel on as no fans up there and want to dampen weird noise such as mild coil whine and such)
Now when running Cinebench R23 full load, temps hit 90C and average 90C and only go as low as 89C and peak as high as 93C and sometimes 94C which is very disappointing as Cinebench R23 is supposed to be more realistic all core workload. This is in an ambient room of 19C which is around 67F.
My case is as clean as can be with only RTX 4090 Gaming OC and CPU cooler and CPU. No HDDs nor SSDs in main area and only 2 M.2 SSDs of course in the mobo and only 2 SATA SSDs on back of case so not in way at all of air flow.
I would like to lower them around 10C staying on air cooling with 1000 RPM fans during Cinebench type run at my settings
Would it be possible to change air coolers or thermal paste and lower the temps. Would the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 be a better fit for my config. I know research suggests almost no temp difference between Dark Rock Pro 4 and NH-D15S. However does the Dark Rock Pro 4 or maybe Assassin 3 have a better cold plate for better contact with LGA 1700 socket using the Thermalright LGA 1700 BFC frame?? Or no difference??
Or is there just no way to cool these things any better on air and they run hot no way around it at mid 5.X GHz speeds even with e-cores off. I would have thought with the superior binning and refinements from Raptor Lake that running those extra speeds would take same power as Alder Lake and same tempos. But no it seems to just run hot hot hot.
I can only imagine when summer comes and my AC keeps my room at 21C at best and even tougher to cool.
The P Out value goes to like 190 watts during Cinebench R23 run and CPU package power goes to like 195 to 210 watts. I would have thought with the larger heat spreader on LGA 1700 and cooling capacity of 250 watts for NH-D15S (2 fans and only using S version for better PCIE GOU clearance) and Dark Rock Pro 4 temps would be low 80s
