So my 13th gen i9 13900k with CORSAIR ICUE H150i ELITE 360mm goes straight to thermal throttling from the PC not being on all day to cutting it on and literally within 1 second of starting a benchmark or stress test. Is this normal?

    TDP? And I tried to overclock it once with XTU and it crashed immediately so I made sure that was back to factory and I’ve been having other issues with lagging/stuttering while gaming so I went into the BIOS and factory reset it just to make sure and it was all the factory settings. I do have MSI Afterburner installed but I don’t use it.

      Mark my words, never ever use intel XTU for overclocking, it just creates and implements the wrong voltage settings, always use BIOS for overclocking. Thats what happened here im sure, intel XTU overclocking will be still there, your processor is drawing 310w of power, just compare it with other fellows by a simple search! reinstall XTU, remove any profile or setting implementation by the software, completely uninstall it and go to BIOS for manual voltage ofset.

        I mean my 14900k draws 300+w stock settings so a 13900k doing the same is normal
