High temperature and throttling It is a beast when combined with Asus z390 Maximus hero and 32gb gskill 3200 cl14 but..forget about overclocking though it runs very hot already Intel has push it as far as they could compete with the market right now with AMD, it runs very fast but it also down clocks it itself a lot because of the temperature and the power limit,I have Noctua NH-D15S with two installed fans and temperature rises up to high 70sC and spikes to mid 80sC while gaming that’s just unacceptable high…
