I just put together a new build with a Gigabyte Z390 Designare motherboard and an i9 9900k and everything works great! The chip is blazing fast but its also blazing hot...or is it? The weird thing is at idle, this chip runs at 23 Celsius and jumps so high on full load so it can't bee a thermal paste / mounted cooler problem. When I run a stress test it shows all cores running at 4.98 ghz and peaks at 93 Celsius full load. Why is my chip running at 5 ghz with all cores? Isn't it supposed to be 4.7 ghz all cores? I did enable multi threading and multiprocessing optimizations in the UEFI bios but I never overclocked the chip. Should it be running this hot? I have a dual fan 280 mm radiator water cooler on it too. What else can I do to cool it down? Under clock it somehow? I don't want to burn up my chip. Its weird that the chip doesn't start throttling until 90+ Celsius and at 93 I get a 1-2% throttle and it only drops to about 4.96 ghz. According to when my throttle meter activates...90 Celsius is the throttle threshold? Seems high. How will the chip handle this long term? Thanks for any advice.😓
