Temperatures fluctuate around 90 degrees
We already know that the 10-core Intel Comet Lake-S processors turned out to be very voracious, but now a full-fledged Core i9-10900K test has appeared, which allows us to understand exactly how much.
Recall that the model line with an unlocked multiplier will go on sale May 20, but when the others come out, it is still unknown.
So, earlier, the author, whose work will now be discussed, checked the 65-watt Core i9-10900F and found out that under load and when using a liquid cooling system the CPU was heated at a peak to 92 ° C at an average temperature of 69 ° C, consuming at this up to 224 watts.
As it turned out, on the same test bench Core i9-10900K consumed only a little more – 235 watts. However, the average temperature has already risen to 87 ° C at a peak of 93 ° C. Recall this when using liquid cooling. It is also worth noting that in this mode the processor worked at a frequency of 4.8 GHz for all ten cores – this is the maximum value without taking into account the Thermal Velocity Boost function. To increase the frequency a little more, Thermal Velocity Boost requires a temperature of 70 ° C, that is, a much more efficient cooling system is needed.
Thus, when buying a Core i9-10900K, even without the intention of overclocking, it is also advisable to purchase liquid CO, and not the weakest one.
