I'm experiencing high CPU temperatures when my Intel Core i7-14700KF is under heavy load. During stress testing, the CPU temperature reaches 96-97 degrees Celsius. While gaming, the temperature ranges from 70 to 80 degrees Celsius.
I'm using the Thermaltake Toughliquid Cooler 360 for CPU cooling. I'm concerned about these high CPU temperatures, especially under heavy load. Is this normal performance for the Toughliquid Cooler 360, or could there be an issue with the cooler or its installation?
I'm also experiencing some software issues with the cooler. The CPU temperature display in the software is stuck and not updating. Additionally, I'm having trouble getting the cooler's connector to work properly.
I'm considering upgrading the cooler to improve CPU temperature management and resolve these software issues. Would this be necessary, or are the current temperatures within acceptable limits?
I'm also interested in overclocking my CPU, but I'm concerned about the impact on temperature and potential software compatibility issues. Would the Toughliquid Cooler 360 be sufficient for overclocking, or would I need to upgrade?
Any suggestions or recommendations on improving CPU temperature management, resolving software issues, or upgrading to a different Thermaltake cooler would be greatly appreciated.
