Hi,
Having issues with the above CPU running at 99 or 100 C at anything over 7% CPU load or so. System is new and so far only had Win 11 installed and some applications installed but not really been asked to do much.
System is;
Intel i9 14900KF
MSI Z790 Tomahawk WiFi
32GB RAM DDR5
Latest version of BIOS on MB
Arctic Alpine 17CO Heatsink
All Mobo settings on default, so no overclocking and I haven't touched any voltage settings.
I've done the following;
Confirmed the BIOS is at latest version
Wiped and reapplied thermal paste to the CPU and Heatsink
Confirmed that the heatsink is properly seated
Run the Intel diagnostics software and it passes all tests
Run the MS CPU load app at maximum to stress test it
Run with the sides of the case off (it doesn't appear to be throwing out much heat)
Figures for overheating have come from the MSI Centre software and the Heatsink fan does start hitting 2.7K RPM's.
Anything else I can try or does anyone have any ideas why it's playing up?
