Intel i9 7920x processor is running at about 92-93C

[KSchw3]

My i9 7920x processor is running at about 92-93C when I'm rendering video and doesn't drop below 38-40C when nothing is going on. These temps seem high. I'm using a Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 to cool the cpu. Any suggestions for lowering the temperature?

Here's a test I just ran:

Hello schwall26

Thank you for joining the community. I see that you are having concerns about the temperature that that is reaching the processor, allow me to help you investigate the case. Looking into the Intel® processor diagnostic tool report that you have shared with us is no noticing that the processor is not reporting any failure, I also verify the processor specs on the following link : https://ark.intel.com/products/126240/Intel-Core-i9-7920X-X-series-Processor-16_50M-Cache-up-to-4_30-GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/126240/Intel-Core-i9-7920X-X-series-Processor-16_50M-Cache-up-to-4_30-GHz I am noticing that the Tjunction for this unit is 95 C, in this case, the processor is working under the specs, upon verifying the Thermal Design Power of the processor that is 140w; I would suggest verifying with master cooler if the cooling system that you have is capable of dissipating that heat/power. Regards,Leonardo C.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I just checked. The model I have is good for up to TDP 230W, which is also why it's a bit concerning that it was running that hot.

I have had a couple BSODs with WHEA_uncorrectable_error over the past few days too. So I am trying to figure out what's going on. I updated all of my drivers and went into BIOS to make sure the enhanced Turbo for the i9 was off. I left Intel Turbo on. Even though those were on in BIOS before, I still had not changed the settings in the MSI command center to overclock. So far no more BSODs and CPU seems to be running slightly cooler. Weird though, because my CPU frequency ratios and base clock were still on defaults.

Thanks again
