Why is the Core i9-9900K so HOT? STIM test, Solder vs. Paste

Having to purchase a pre-built to grab a decent GPU only to have to watch older Intel videos to understand why your i9900k (that came with your prebuilt) is hotter than Hades in hell during the summer..

Was worried about mine being too hot but looks normal ha got it at 1.290 volt 86c max stress at 5ghz 5.1 needs more voltage and gets to near 100

man I was going crazy thinking I made some dum mistake that was causing my rig to get so hot, I'm glad It's just the cooling solution because that I can fix! :)

I don't know methodology HU follows to specifically test Intel processors, they always seem to be a strong critic of Intel products, and who are these reviewers complaining about high temp on i9 9900k that Steven was mentioning? I have i9 9900ks and 10900k, both at 5 GHz all cores, using 240mm & 360mm Corsair hydro series AIO and they doesn't break 80c at 100% load on all 8/10 cores, I live in fairly warm area, ambient temp are 35c, idle temp is 45 to 50c.

I just built a 9900k system and oh yeah, this thing is HOT. So hot when I overclocked it the frequency actually went DOWN! Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I dunno. This platform is new to me and I'm still learning. But last time I checked, when you overclock a cpu that runs 3.6ghz stock, it shouldn't drop to 3.3ghz on cinebench AFTER the overclock when the cache frequency in the bios clearly says it's running at 4.6ghz.

My 9600k idles at 45 and loads at 75. Sometimes it turns on at 55 idle and loads at 100.

Feel like Intel takes advantage of it's monopoly in the market place. Why do extra steps that can be skipped, for a what seems like a better product, ” it's soldered!!”

And consumer products are already probably lower profit margins when compared to servers chips.

Please PLLLEASE Review i9 9900 (NON-K!)

intel is the couse of the global warming

Hi is the stock results here all boost 4.7 or what does the cpu do under blender?

honestly idk if its just really cold in my room, but i recently just upgraded to a 9900k from a 8700k im running [email protected] on all cores stable under max load my 9900k never hits 80c where as my 8700k would be around 85c-87c @5ghz, the thing is im still using my previous gen mobo and one of my vrms seems to get a bit hot for my liking, it gets to around 90c

My 9900kf 5ghz 1.3v bios h100i with noctua nf12s push pull gets 89 90c prime 95 otherwise it's normal performance is 50s to 60s gaming 80% fan speeds.. dunno why you guys are betting such high temps

It’s cooler than my 7700k, and at 200mhz higher overclock 👍 (5.0 vs 4.8)

My Intel i9-9900K and overclocking over 4.7 GHz are under 60 degrese Celsius in extreamly preformance game. It is not hot or warm. I love the CPU but I have I 3 big fans to cool down the CPU and they are watercooled.

i boght i9 9900k pc that was useless, waste of money , for 3d rendering autodesk maya Maxone c4d overtime frequency drop 4.2 , amd better

Bruh T Junction nty....

Why do i love this thumbnail so much

the aio you used is performing pretty bad. My cooler master 240 is at like 75c 5ghz

Think you might have a hotter than normal chip and 1.35v is crazy high. I wouldn't say I have a great chip but it hits 5ghz at 1.28v @ 78c under stress testing. I admit I have a dual 360 rad custom loop but when you spend this kind of money on a chip cooling it efficiency should be in the budget. I was able to overclock to 5.2ghz at 1.32v but the temps were in the high 80s and couple cores were hitting mid 90s. I personally am happy with a 5ghz all core overclock temps are manageable, and the difference between 5 and 5.2ghz wasn't enough for me to justify the higher heat and potentially shorter life span of the CPU.

You think I can build in the i9 9900 k in the nzxt s340 elite with the kraken?

Remember we made jokes back than about the FX CPUs being hot?

"Why is the Core i9-9900K so HOT?"
Because they made the silicon die twice as thick as the 8700k.
This way the next gen they can use the same die but make it thinner and get better performance.

Problem is if you have 2080ti, the only CPU that can feed properly it is the 9900K. Overclocking doesn't really make a lot of sense, since the default config is really enough. Overclocking will just kill a very expensive an already very fast CPU.

Damn I heard it ran hot, but that just seems unsafe!

Had my 8700k running 4.7ghz allcore on 1.240v prime AVX load with delid 82c

9900k running 4.7ghz allcore with 1.185v prime stable with AVX max 83c (none delid)

Sillicon lottery seems to be a thing. Or someone is pushing too many volts on the 9900k

Here are my Core i9-9900k temperature testing results - I figured I would add this to the body of knowledge being shared.

I have the my i9-9900k overclocked using Asus's AI overclocker tuner and Q-Fan auto fan control on an Asus ROG Maximus XI Formula Motherboard and using a beQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU Cooler installed using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal grease.

During a Blender 1.0 Beta 2 Quick Benchmark, the CPU cores/threads remained maxed out at 100%. The total runtime was 14.42.23 minutes. The CPU cores stayed at 4.9 GHz (+0.002/-0.005 GHz) on all cores the entire run. VCore mostly stayed at 1.172 V with a 1.234 V peak. Max package power was 171 W. Maximum core temps ranged from a low of 81° C on core #7 to 89° C on core #2. The ambient temp was around 22° C. The chassis fans maxed out at various speeds ranging from 874 rpm to 927 rpm. I could hear them running, but the noise was not too bad. The 135 mm CPU fan maxed out at 1498 rpm. HWMonitor is not reporting the speed of the 120mm CPU fan, which is plugged into the CPU_OPT header, but I am assuming it was running around 2200 rpm, which I understand to be its max speed.

I also ran Prime95 v. 29.4, build 8, Windows 64 bit for about 30 minutes on "Blend" and "Torture Test" to run 16 threads. Again, the CPU stayed at 4.9 GHz the entire run. VCore mostly stayed at 1.208 V with a 1.234 V peak. Max package power was 113 W. The CPU cores mostly hovered between 59° C and 64° C, with a Max of 71° C being reported in HWMonitor. I could barely hear the system running. One of the front case fans is plugged into the water block pin header for now until I get a fan splitter cable, so that one runs at 915 rpm for now. The other case fans ran between 730 and 800 rpm. The 135mm CPU fan ran at about 1025 rpm. I am assuming the 120mm fan was running less than its max rpm.

Unfortunately, HWMonitor does not seem to report the VRM temperatures on my motherboard. Nonetheless, I did not detect any thermal throttling during the tests while continuing to watch the core speeds in the HWMontitor UI, and the minimum core speeds measured by HWMonitor was 4.895 GHz.

System:
MB: Asus ROG Maximus XI Formula
CPU: Core i9-9900k
RAM: G.SKILL F4-3600C16D-16GVK
Primary/Boot SSD: Intel Optane 900p 280 GB
Case: Fractal Design Define S2 TG with two additional Dynamic X2 GP-14 fans in the top two rear fans slots.
GPU: Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 580 8GB
Power Supply: Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W Titanium

(Note: I don't need the VRM water block on the Formula, but I could not find the Maximus XI Code in stock anywhere and grew impatient waiting. I use the RX 580 because I have 5 displays, and I don't use the system for gaming - the RX 580 is the only newer generation video card I could find that supports 5 displays.)

XTU not have AVX2 and others is Istrutions high,please stress test with OCCT with Linpack AVX and 9900k at 5.1 GHz BOOMMM of 8 cores

Its so hot because intel engineers today are useless.

Out of the box thermals? But this is the wrong Steve for that.

can I use 9700k without OC with cheap cooler like cnps10x optima?

Running on a recently delidded 3770k (within the last 6 months) @ 4.6 Ghz, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to delid my next CPU to get good OCing temps. I've been really impressed with AMD's Ryzen (looking forward Ryzen 2 in 2019) and am tempted to jump to the red team for my next build sometime next year. I game @ 1440p with a 1080 Ti, but would really like more cores/threads, native usb 3.0/3.1, NVME support, etc. of a new platform. AMD may be in my future as, sadly, Intel seems to be grasping at straws due to resting on their laurels for the last few generations.

14nm++++,LOL

I'm building a new PC, i want to buy i9 9900k with Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB. Will there be big problems with temperatures? Whay do you think? Is it worth buying it?

I9 9900K 1.35V - 1.38V Cinebench 85- 89c, Prime95 95c & Realbench 88c!! When gaming 70's, so in that case safe temps!! But dam Intel, your making it more challenging for us Overclockers to OC with confidence 💪

The comparison is flawed because the 9900k has a different die, Gamers Nexus wanted to do it, but they didn't because of the difference

It is noth

A french company(?) was selling amd systems as room heaters. Now they can sell premium intel room heaters.

"And not the kind of special it turned out to be..." Just had me rolling on the floor.

Would this cook my bacon well? sarcasm

For American viewers - he's talking about sodder.

Damm. These cpus are a major contributor of global warming.

So how is Linus getting those reasonable temps in their test?

Hey Steve, how come Linus' temp/power draw results are considerably lower than every other review I've seen?

Dam intel's doing it wrong the got to increase ipc not the dam clock-speed they have nothing left at this rate when Ryzen 2 hits the maket. the heats to high for these processors
