Can't hit a stable 5ghz OC with i7-10700k using H150i RGB PRO XT?

[Desolate Eden]

Running prime95 and monitoring with open hardware monitor and intel extreme tuning utility, about 15-20 mins into the test, running at max load, my cpu starts hitting 100c and throttling. Seems a bit underwhelming with a £160 cooler, when my cpu can already hit 4.8 base turbo at about 72c peak. Voltage is adaptive too, going from 1.34 - 1.36v

silicon lottery doesnt explain why he hits 100°C 5ghz allcore with only 1.36v and a decent aio!

It does, he just lost it is all :(

maybe he should try to lower is vcore. also we talk here about stock clocks. 4.9ghz all core is stock and not a manual oc way above stock with increased vcore to make it happen.

sillicon lottery shows every cpu they tested was able to do 4.9 all core with 1.190v

10700K 4.90GHz 4.80GHz 4C+100MHz 1.190V 210W 100%

5ghz he wanted in first post is

10700K 5.00GHz 4.90GHz 4C+100MHz 1.210V 220W Top 63%

this means 1.36 might be to much for 10th gen but i dont know.
on 9th gen my 9900k runs at 60°C 1.36 5ghz all core.

[Desolate Eden]

at 4.7 I get 73c peak I just tested, at 4.9 i get 95c but yes, the core voltages are 1.3+ and idk how to change them, the options are greyed out for me in my bios, they werent in my old mobo, ive just been using inteligent processor 5 and intel extreme tuning to try and get some free performance

[Desolate Eden]

also my sp on my chip is 86 so i didnt loose the sillicon lottery, its something else thats the problem

I would get a multi meter or a kill a watt meter and check the voltage at the socket the PC is connected to, just to make sure the socket itself or voltage drop isnt part of the problem when it comes to stability.

yes because 1.35v is nothing special as i said

10700K @ 4.9GHz up to 8 cores, 5.0GHz up to 4 cores.
Vcore under heavy load @ 1.350V BIOS, 1.280V Socket Sense, 1.190V Die Sense.

this from sillicon lottery aswell.

you sure you did enough mounting pressure ? becasue not enough can cause massive increased temps.

i would not use any tools and if you dont know which settings have to changed in bios follow something like this.

few questions where is your cooler installed ? have you turned the pump on AIO to
full speed ? are you running fans at a constant speed ? are the case fans better than 1300rpm
does the case have adequate air flow ? are you using a good thermal paste (eg..kingpin
or grizzly) ? fan locations and case type ?

with that my go to would be turn fans/pump on AIO to full speed and repaste cpu
either to eliminate or narrow it down.

[Desolate Eden]

i made my water pump full speed and ive managed to hit 80c at 4.9ghz all core with 1.295v is that good? Will that be fine for running 24/7 without ruining my cpu life span? I want to push for 5ghz but I feel like this is as best as I'll get and I'm already unsure if it's safe to run it like this.

imagine not reading my first post and then coming at me with this garbage.

Clearly you calling us garbage goes to show how you have no idea.

To begin with, OP is already running a 10700k that is going to get hot regardless of what cooler he/she puts on it with the exception of extreme cooling like LN2. 1.34-1.36 is already making a 10700k or a 9900k almost impossible to cool, even with a 360mm radiator. Also, did you even consider that his 10700k may just be a power hog at this point since there is no guarantee you will win the silicon lottery?

That is Intel 14nm and their marketing in a nutshell for you.

You also need to consider asking the LLC and motherboard the OP is using before jumping to the issue that Thermal Throttling is the primary cause -- in fact Intel doesn't care since you are effectively making the chip run outside it's official specs.

1.34-1.36v is usually making Intel 9th/10th gen chips produce a lot of heat, regardless if you're using a 360mm rad or Large air cooler from Noctua.

Sadly this is Intel 14nm AND Silicon Lottery in a nutshell. If you cannot hit all core 5Ghz stable without throwing a lot of voltage to it then the only best thing you can do is to do some undervolting while remaining at normal boost clocks.

When overclocking is in the picture, there is no guarantee you can make the chip perform the way you want it to, outside the official spec. In the 10700K's case, Intel advertises the chip as 5.1Ghz capable on 1 core and not all.

Ahh, Intel 10th gen in a furnace-y nutshell.

The issue isnt your cooler. Its the Intel chip and the 14nm++++++++++++++++ node that intel is still working on.

They flat out hit the limits of the design (for the most part) last gen. Instead of waiting and doing work to get a *real* product out for their 10th gen lineup, all they did was the same thing they *had* been doing, boosted the core speed a tiny bit at the cost of massive power and heat. So much heat in fact that *just* to get that tiny boost over 9th gen they had to shave off layers of the Core and the IHS as a bandaid measure to reduce thermals enough to get things working at all.

Little wonder that (many) are having issue with OC'ing them. It used to be that unless you were unlucky you had some heaadroom, but with how hard they have pushed their old tech the meta now is that you are lucky if you *can* OC well before heat or power limit you.

Have you lowered your cpu vcore down below 1.35v ?

I'm no longer going to look at Corsair for any AIO-LC. They've become a joke in this area and have too high pump failure rates. Which is why I went with NZXT Kraken X73

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

OP you're saying your getting 95C at 4.9ghz and 1.3V/1.35V, then I suggest stick to 4.7GHz because clearly you're in a good spot when your temp is only at 73C.

Please note, voltage has play as well for heat, lowering the voltage can lower the temperature being generated, but this also can cause stability issues as you need a certain amount of voltage when going for higher GHz speeds.

IMO stick to 4.7Ghz that seem to work best for you.

Clearly your pump is faulty, voltage way too high, or your don't have the fans cranked up. H150 should still be quiet with the fans near max rpms

It’s not a pump fault. If a pump is dead he would already be encountering a LOT of shutdowns. 1.34-1.36V is going to easily make Intel 14nm really hot no matter what cooler you use either from Noctua, Corsair or even NZXT :/

hot = lower voltage or oc
unstable = raise voltage or lower oc
cool+stable = raise oc

when you don't even read op and just post generic garbage

Which is basically what you put in post #2 just worded differently

im not sure what you'd like us to tell you?
it's thermal throttling you've already figured that out
so i mean, get a better cooler and/or try to lower voltages and see if you can get it stable
other then that
