Won't be as bad as your initial results for sure. It's all defaulting to a very weak profile.Ī silent solution for the 9900k while cooling it is like putting lipstick on a pig. Because running it at default is really going to cook your CPU. I hope you've setup your link cable to the motherboard and not running the AIO at default. Make sure you set pump performance setting is set to Extreme. Just run custom fixed at 80% fan speed as it's not very loud. Do not run Corsair fan profiles as they are very weak. such as thermal throttling count, CPU load, CPU frequency, cache misses.

I also noticed when i ran a stress test through cpu-z, task manager only showed 40 cpu.
#Intel burn test i get thermal throttling driver
I would recommend you to swap out the fans to ML-120 Pro and run it at 80% fixed fan speed and try again. The first governor was Intel P-State, which is the default driver in Linux. If you dont find these settings: Consult this list of Intel CPU. Anything higher than Turbo you're going to have massive voltage spikes so check on that setting too.ĩ900k also runs hotter due to hyperthreading so even a 360 AIO has a hard time cooling it. Make sure your LLC Load Calibration is set to Turbo only on Gigabyte boards. Stock H150i fans really cannot make it especially at our ambient temps. Gaming temps are under 70 easily and AVX stress testing like Intel Burn Test peaks at 86 degrees. I can run 5Ghz on my 9700k with no AVX offset 1.33V. You would typically not see this on the stock cooler, due to the heat would throttle first.

I'm using the H150i and I swapped out all my fans to ML-120 Pro. I have not seen the thermal throttling, however one thing with the cooler that you will get is the upper power limit of 120 throttling the card.
