Im still thinking about switching to Intel and obviously every single review mentions how hot this CPU can get. Thing is: This is mostly at STOCK SETTINGS and in BENCHMARKS. How about real world usage? Can anyone share his experience with this CPU and with reasonable powerlimits/undervolting? Im also planning to use my aircooler, a Noctua u12A. My goal is to keep the PC quiet, would this be possible with aircooling and a bit of fiddling in BIOS? Im cool as long as I could keep the RPM under 1000 much like I do right now on my Ryzen CPU.
Just for comparison: I have the 13700 (non-K) with b760 motherboard and if you stick to intel 65w tdp, it’s cold. But when you turn on the performance mode maxed to 90c, it goes up to 93c 5ghz-5.2ghz all p cores. Everything “cooled” by 240mm aio and with a contact frame. I bet it will reach the 100c if I disable the temp limit completely. The max power I get is 215-260w. And yes, I use it for work everyday and it reaches that temp. But intel made the processor to run that hot so no biggie.
