Not sure which one i should worry about
Depends on the software... I mostly ignore "Package" temp and look at IA temps (Intel-only) and individual core temps.
Tho anything that seems scuffed will get my attention (say if all cores are at 80C but 1 is at 90C, I go look at it).
Outside that, as long as none of the temps exceed 80C? Don't worry too much.

yea, they tend to have similar temps.

realistic powerdraw is like what? 330W at the worst... Add about 250W for the CPU's PL2 (also a "worst-case") and you'd be at 580W as worst-case scenario...
In reality, 550W would be what I'd expect (and even that I doubt honestly).
Still kinda sad tho how we went from GPUs where 150W is considered "high" to 300W being considered "normal"

glossy patrol
Are you going to overclock?
valid sky
++
Unless you OC, there is minimal to no gains with K series and non K from different generations
K is slightly faster and have higher power limits (which may cause them to be harder to cool)
It doesnt sustain its PL2 for long time tho
You may consider solid cooler
If you found great deal on K CPU, go for it
Even i5-1xx00F has at least 135W PL2, so getting decent cooler will give you the most out of your CPU
Even i3 would pull upto 90w
So stock cooler is fine, but you will be kinda limited, you may run into throttling if PL2 kicked in
Unlike older intel gpu (at least for non-k) TDP = your max
My CPU has 251W PL2 (Which only achieved 201W MAX)

valid sky
At least it can handle 11600KF pretty good
valid sky
Kinda
subtle hawk
i think my pc case has a small vacuum chamber in the intake
3 120mm fans are pulling against absolutely nothing
valid sky
Thats shit xD
My friend when he had chinese case
It was the same case
But he bought my old case from me xD
Temps are alot better
For me, upgrading the case changed my mood
I feel like having all new PC xD
subtle hawk
there’s a limit to how hard i can spin the fans
since if i run all the fans at 100%
then it becomes a negative airflow
valid sky
And dust will say “HI”
valid sky
especially if you are in non-isolated building
subtle hawk
to keep airflow down and sound too
subtle hawk
especially if you are in non-isolated building
yeah lol
doors? open
windows? open
honeywell air filter? maxxed out
valid sky
xD k
subtle hawk
horror
i’m repacking this i71c
for future uses
i have the boxes
yeah
the thermal compound is DRY
IT FEELS DRY
valid sky
At least noctua offers you good quality obe
I remember using my MX4 for 3 months
It was wet and easy to clean
valid sky
From the picture it seems crunchy
valid sky
Like my old cooler master thermal paste
valid sky
My old laptop when i repasted it
The thermal paste was desert dry
my GPU was a bit wet, but 107c hotspot was too much
valid sky
Haha
valid sky
WTF xD
valid sky
Then wondering why it was overheating xD
valid sky
I jumped from stock cooler to Hyper 212 and now PA120 SE
Would use that PA 120 SE forever tho xD
265w TDP
I can use i9-13900k np with it
valid sky
xD
Like my old P4 casee
If i still have that PC i would’ve built a sleep PC in there
It was suffocate a lot tho D:
subtle hawk
tissue paper cushioning mod
why? i csnt screw the gpu in
improved tissue paper mod
subtle hawk
it's cooler by a lot
a whole 20 degrees
i set the fan curve pretty slow and gradual

@valid sky
By running it like thjs
It makes the system so much chiller
65c under load cpu only
75c under load cpu only if the case panel is back on
💀
valid sky
It makes the system so much chiller
But your room becomes hotter
Since more heat being dumped outside 🤣
valid sky
I put my AC at 25 its good
But when the PC is on
The room becomes so hot
When the PC + PS4 on god damn
It becomes a warm room
If you are coming from outside the room, you get a lot of heat blasting on your face
when the AC is at 18C, i can do any stress test i want
subtle hawk
yeah
i'm getting 11600k for next cpu
maybe
if not i'll do a full push onto intel next gen
valid sky
i'm getting 11600k for next cpu
Other than convenience of just replacing CPUs
Not really worth it
The difference is around 5-10% and ALOT MORE HEAT
like a lot
Not any cooler can handle 11600k without undervolting
valid sky
For me, it was way better value than getting i9-9900k
Since for some reason, they are still expensive
glossy patrol
They're almost "iconic", for the lack of a better word
And a recent mid-range chip is a much better buy than a 9900K
valid sky
Well, i got my 11600KF for less than 150$
And case and mobo bundle for less than 190$
It made much more sense for me back then (DEC 2022) to upgrade that way rather than buying i9-9900k
The CPU was unused (and even still sealed)
The mobo and case were slightly used
Well, 11600KF performs almost the same as 9900kf in gaming
In productivity i might be little behind due to core count

Insane
subtle hawk
insane
is it rellly better to have more fans
for the cpu cooler that is
i ahv ea dual towe
subtle hawk
i got some silicon power b me
nvme
super fast but no temp sensor
i use it as a game/recording drive
valid sky
i ahv ea dual towe
Not by much
subtle hawk
💀💀 yeah
valid sky
Drifting time
subtle hawk
real
subtle hawk
🤝
subtle hawk
apparently they're releasing a noctua nh-d9l
uh
black edition
i forgot what they were called, but they're making a black version of the D9L @valid sky
monobox or some
chromax yes, they're making a noctu nh-d9l chromax black in Q4 2023
pretty cool, considering that it's a cpu cooler from 2015 that's still getting revision updates
valid sky
Yeah, same as the good old Hyper 212
Its 2007 cooler, yet still gets updated
It works with LGA 775 all the way to LGA 1700 (even seen some ppl modding it to work with socket 478 and 423)
16 years of official compatibility and 23 years of unofficial compatibility is insane
subtle hawk
yeha lmfao
the 212 is kinda complicated to isntall
i barely got the hyper 212 black edition to install on my friends pc
it's just confusing to install lmfao
so many different configurations on backplates and cpu now lmfao
ah yes, adding my phone is not enough
we need 2fa now
i seriously hate 2fa, primarily because my phone gets lockdowns
screentime locks, and then i can not access them
subtle hawk
Yeah, same as the good old Hyper 212
he got this cpu cooler
issue is i ran out of time when helping him so I couldn't OC and tune fan curves on his system
valid sky
For me, installing Hyper 212 first time took me like 1 hour
2nd time took me 5 minutes xD
subtle hawk
oh lmfao
valid sky
Then my friend took 2 hours
subtle hawk
first time took me like uh
20 minutes
i lost a few screws, and the backplate
i found them, and i did a careless assemble
the cpu cooler is angled downwards
like \
wait more like /
it's like, facing downwards 💀
valid sky
Seems like the motherboard is getting a lot of tension
valid sky
Damn
subtle hawk
like at that point, (20 minutes out of 6 hours)
i already gave up on the pc
the RGB was so annoying to deal with in the case lmfao
he wanted RGB fans which used SATA + 4 pin + 5v
valid sky
My current PA120 took me 30 mins to install (i was chatting during installation)
subtle hawk
and then extension cables
valid sky
he wanted RGB fans which used SATA + 4 pin + 5v
Damn
valid sky
At least its not a fucking MOLEX
subtle hawk
oh
yeah i had to use molex
for the 212 evo
i had to remove the hdd caddy
😭
so it's actually impossible to fit in a hdd in a caddy there lmfao
valid sky
Molex is the shittiest connecter i ever delt with
subtle hawk
cuz of the amount of cales there
subtle hawk
Molex is the shittiest connecter i ever delt with
Molex is fine for me. Why? I don't use it
valid sky
I stopped using it since i upgraded my system xD
subtle hawk
my i71c (previous cooler) which wanted rgb? I threw away the RGB and ran it without any
I am ANTI-RGB for a reason
valid sky
RGB looks cool, but not the rainbow shit
subtle hawk
oh
he likes rainbow shit
i'm more the RG"B" guy
i like the blue tint
i have all my pherperals locked to a stable blue colour lmfao
valid sky
I like to keep my RGB color cycling rather than Rainbow vomit
subtle hawk
i keep mines static
idk what my gpu does sometimes. Why? I have a metal panel
so the RGB in the gpu is just on, for noone to see
truly a rip moment
valid sky
xD
subtle hawk
ikr
valid sky
The controller is 80$ alone like WTF
I ended up selling with bundled with case for 25$ xD
Noone needs controllers anymore
valid sky
i love 4 pin daisy chain fans
My Chinese fans does that
valid sky
Its convenient af
valid sky
My fans costed 25$ xD
subtle hawk
better than noctua? No clue, i have little to no regards
valid sky
Pack of 4
subtle hawk
💀
valid sky
My parents would kill me if i did that xD
valid sky
Eithernet cable?
valid sky
Im guilty of doing that too xD
subtle hawk
100 feet of pure flat
valid sky
For the cable that feeds the ground floor with WiFi
subtle hawk
super helpful from the overheating wifi card I had lmfao
that thing would like, overheat and drop from 300mbps to 0
this thing holds 1000mbps with no problem 
valid sky
My mobo comes with one integrated
subtle hawk
mines doesn't come integrated with wifi, only a 2.5gbe port
valid sky
It performs better than PCIe WiFi card
Which never sold one for more than 15$
Like, they dont worth more than that xD
subtle hawk
lmfao 💀
i ain't ever getting wifi again
i need direct access to my NAS
120mb/s is already slow now lol
valid sky
HDD is kinda your bottleneck here
subtle hawk
yeah i don't 💀
valid sky
my HDDs runs between 160-300mb/s aswell
subtle hawk
ISP provided router only supplies gigabit port
valid sky
They arent slow, its just people hating HDDs
valid sky
Im not gonna sell my kidney for a 4TB+ SSD
subtle hawk
magnificant art of a pc
valid sky
xD
subtle hawk
Im not gonna sell my kidney for a 4TB+ SSD
same lmfao 💀
it's not up to date sadly
since uh, i did some other stuff
valid sky
I found blower 3080 for 370$
valid sky
But its like 70km away and i have to cross country border to get it xD
GPUs in that country is cheap
In my country i get 3060Ti for 350$ used
There 3060Ti worth 220-250$ used
Which is just right
Even if i paid that 80$ international shipping
Its still great deal
Which i wont
subtle hawk
But its like 70km away and i have to cross country border to get it xD
worth
oh
nvm
yeah no, a 3060 goes for like
500 new
400 used
worth it? no
i'm going intel arc next
valid sky
I found 3060 for less than 200$ in that country 70km away
Around 185$
Thats a steal xD
If i told my friends that im going there, i’ll probably pay in customs….
Im comming back with 4-5 GPUs at least xD
subtle hawk
lucky
valid sky
3090 for 550$ brand new (that one is sketchy)
valid sky
lucky
Idh the money to do that xD
Otherwise, it would be amazing business to do
And in customs i can say
Im doing SLI
So GPUs are personal useage
valid sky
Damn, if i went there with money
I will crash 3060 market locally xD
Which idh money nor transportation to get me there…..
valid sky
There are alot of sketchy offers tho
valid sky
Like RTX 3090/Ti for under 600$ and claims its brand new
Its just sketchy af
Also been listsd for very long
Even sketchier
valid sky
Like ik 3060 can drop to 160$
Its in the low range tho
But 3090 for 550-600$ is sketchy brand new
Also, currency is different
Thats another issue for me xD
subtle hawk
well
i did find it in the tech drawer from years ago
so i do expect it to die
i have like 2 nas hdd's ready to swap out of my current ones die
valid sky
I have plenty of very slow or dead 2.5HDDs
valid sky
Like 10-12 pieces of 500GB-1TB HDDs 2.5 Inch
valid sky
i plugged it in wrong
XD
subtle hawk
so i use a microusb
somehow the port has gotten so loose i can flip it
and how it works again 💀
valid sky
HDDs are kinda solid xD
subtle hawk
HDDs are kinda solid xD
yeah they really are
valid sky
Like 10-12 pieces of 500GB-1TB HDDs 2.5 Inch
Sometimes they slow down the entire PC
and one of those HDDs got a virus in it
Which is luckly too old to infect any PC i have
School PCs back in the day
Used to be full of malware
And viruses
subtle hawk
i'm gonna boot up a windows sandbox
valid sky
Nowadays its rare to get virus, unless you download and visit sketchy sites
