Build overheat issues for Hyte 60

[Nyanko]

Hi All,

2 months back I upgraded my GPU and processor (bad move). After upgrading, my AIO coolant temp kept going very high without ramping my fans to run at 85% and above and keeping the coolant temp below 52 Deg cel; sometimes without AC can even spike to 55 Deg cel.

Please let me know what are my options now to lower my coolant temp. I was thinking of changing my AIO cooler to H150i elite capellix with a bigger radiator and top mount it. Will this help?

Current specs:
1.CPU i9-14900KF (24 cores, 32 threads, 3.2GHz)
2. Motherboard Gigabyte Z690M Aorus Elite AX DDR4
3. Ram 32 GB DDR4
4. AIO cooler Corsair H100i elite capellix
5. GPU MSI GeForce RTX5080 16G 3X OC
6. PSU MSI MAG A850GlL 850w

Will upload a picture of my build once I get home.

why u buy 14900......
ur bios is uptodate right?

also dun think ur cooler is up to task, its just a 240mm AIO right?

can look into contact frame or try undervolting guides over youtube

Wait, so the issue you are having is with the AIO supposedly "overheating" and not the CPU itself? And what's the context? Idle? Running cinebench?

The 14900 normal behaviour is to opportunistically boost as and when they can, thermal budget permitting. In other words, the cooler your set up runs, the more the processor will try to boost to hit its default turboboost.

So naturally, your AIO coolant would be hotter because it is transferring the heat away from your CPU. I don't see it as an issue since it is doing its job effectively? If your coolant is not heating up while under load, it could mean that the heat is being retained at the CPU side which would actually be bad instead. There are folks who run it on an air cooler (eg Noctua's D15) and have no issues with the higher temps other than their boost frequencies being lower than those who use AIO due to a lower thermal budget for the former. 55 is very tame unless you are saying that it is during idle.

If the coolant temp bothers you, then the solution would be to alter the CPU side since that's where the heat is coming from. You either undervolt the CPU or limit the core boost frequency to a much lower level for both P and E cores.

Ah yaaaaa.... Stupid lor listen to tech stuff saying why not change since you upgrading .... Haiz... Didn't realise that my h100i can't take the heat. So should I swap out my old h100i to h150i and top mount it

Gaming lol especially on POE2 and Borderlands 4.... When I use autocad also never heat untill like that. So I'm actually quite stumped. My fan will be so noisy at 85% in order to keep the temp at 50 and below. Will mounting a h150i to the top solve this issue or I should just ditch the casing and get something more airy. My current H100i is mounted to the side.

Can't attach the pic.....

360mm aio is the bare minimum for the 14900k

andddd it will still thermal throttle if you push it

u want to game and keep temp below 50C at the same time???

Ok sorry so usually what's the threshold? My ICUE suddenly went emergency mode when my AIO coolant temp at 55 Deg cel lol and I got a shock like wtf happened?

That's why I'm a newbie. Thanks for all the advices. I seriously need them.

I will try with the contact plate first?

Thank you all for the prompt reply.

55c is perfectly fine

worry when your CPU goes over 90c while gaming

You can try power limiting first. Your cooler is a 240mm, that CPU is mostly for 360mm. Also yeah, contact frame.

Sorry it's my coolant temp not CPU temp.

 

[Vanyel]

Sorry it's my coolant temp not CPU temp.

maybe u wanna contact corsair if ur really concerned about the coolant temp~

but cpu temp ok?

There are a couple of things you could try. The first would be to check through the bios that intel's default settings are being enforced. I believe all brands mobos have some kind of "cpu boosting" mode where the motherboard overrides intel's defaults (voltages, etc) to squeeze out as much performance as possible from the CPU, but that usually makes it run even hotter. For example, Asus's is called "multicore enhancement", sorry I'm not sure what gigabyte's equivalent is . You would want to turn that off. After that, make sure that that "intel default settings" is used. If you have a section for to choose the profile for intel's default, you should select performance (instead of extreme).

If the above doesn't work/still not enough, then try adjusting the core boost limits (performance core ratio and efficient core ratio). There are two ways to go about it. One would be to do it through bios, the other is to use intel xtu software. The difference between the two is that changes in bios is permanent and will persist through restarts whereas XTU needs the user to apply the desired settings every time the computer starts. I would suggest using XTU since you are just testing, you can always make them permament through bios later on if you are satisfied with what you tried. Lower the multiplier (1x = 100mhz) for performance core ratio (your P cores) to 49x and the one for your efficent core ratio (E core) to 39x. Then try gaming for a while with those changes.

You can set them even lower but the one I suggested is already quite low and is likely to come with noticeable performance trade-offs. Any lower and the 14900kf would be pointless to have.

If that still doesn't work, then the next would be to undervolt the CPU. If you feel adventurous enough, you could go straight for undervolting but I'm not that familiar with it. Undervolting can help with the temp a lot without performance trade-offs if done right. But it is more complex and requires more trial and error to get a stable one.

Thank you all for your advices. I will try what useless bum mentioned.

Actually if cpu temp is ok, do we really need to care about aio coolant temp??

Get a AIO 360mm cooler. Set pump to 100%.

too high coolant temps will affect the tubings and washers and plastic housing

if corsair set to auto 100% fan speed at 55c coolant temps, and you cannot override, means thats nearing the safety limits of their parts

If noise is a concern just adjust the fan profile, so that the CPU is allowed to get hotter. The 14900k can go up to 100'C safely. So ramp up the CPU fan in stages so that it is 85% when CPU temperature is around 75'C, and 100% when it reaches 85'C.

Omg! Your advise works! The cpu boost was actually tuned to Extreme. Gosh.... thank you!!! Now my coolant is staying below 50 deg cel without my fans ramping to 75%. Thank you allllllll!!!!

You're welcome, glad you got it sorted out
