I'm upgrading to an i7-12700K Soon, the highest room temperature I've seen is 32C during the summer but generally hovers between 26-28C, I live in a hot country although I got a good corsair h100i Pro XT 240mm for it, gonna get 3 front intake up to 2000RPM pmw fans too, I'm planning to get a thermal right contact frame to replace the OEM socket in the board not only for better temps but also for the longevity of the CPU in the upcoming years and preventing bending/warping, if the CPU Still runs over 90C with the contact frame and all, I'll prob undervolt the CPU a bit just like I am doing currently with my i7-9700 to achieve slightly better temperatures.
I’ll have a video coming out next week where I test several contact frames and two different 280mm coolers on the CPU and in a push pull configuration at 100% speed the best temperatures I was able to get is 92° on Cine bench r23. However on a customers computer I used an arctic liquid freezer 240 mm and with the washer mod I was able to keep the temperatures in the mid 80s on cinebench r23. So I might personally end up getting an arctic liquid freezer II or lapping one of the coolers I have
@@walkersgamingpcs Sweet, what is your room temperature? I think I might have to buy the i7-12700 (non-K) due to the lower TDP , should still be a great CPU and output less heat. I only have a 240mm h100i and live in a hot country/room.
Yea the non K version runs considerably cooler. Your CPU cooler should be able to handle it but room temperature does play a part. My room temperature was 21c during testing and my computer lab stays about 22c all year.
Should I do the washermod on an ASRock Nova and a 14600k? When I did it in my old system with the 12100f and a b660 mobo I did not notice temperature difference but the tension when moving down the lever felt a lot more normal.
I would use a bending bracket they work better but if you have to yes washer mod will help because 12th,13th, and 14th gen intels all have same shape and ILM on motherboard.
No, you risk pulling threads if the screws are not properly tightened. Power planes run through the board so cross threading or pulling threads can be catastrophic.
The retention bracket screws are already barely torqued from factory, i think that's already a countermeasure by the board makers against excessive pressure. When i did the washer mod yesterday on my new MSI Z690 board, the screws were quite loosely tightened indeed, i don't think you can have them much looser than from factory.
Walker gaming pcs I got something better I just built a 4080 13900k build. Try taking the bracket off and just use the aio cooler to mount the cpu I did it posts and I have no problems
12th+13th Gen Intel CPUs are sensitive to mounting pressure. I switched out the MSI AIO for an Arctic Liquid Freezer II which required creating a mounting system that fit, which I did and I get good temps and the correct pressure so I don’t want to change it. You should do memory stress testing as this is what incorrect mounting pressure effects the most.
You don’t understand, let me try. The pins on the motherboard are actually springs they need to have the right pressure to bend correctly otherwise you can get weird memory issues. The ILM or Bracket is what applies this pressure correctly the mounting system for the AIO is for pressure between already set in place CPU and AIO. Posting doesn’t mean you have the pressure correct. If you kink or break the pins your going to have even worse issues.

Where did you buy the washers? And hello fellow wisconsinite. Milwaukee here.
Hello, I got them on Amazon the company is qteatak if that helps.
Get your self a CPU Contact Frame it’s even better than washers and drops temps more
I agree but they are not available in all regions.
@@walkersgamingpcs fair enough their good though
Would less torque on the screws so the same thing?

@@walkersgamingpcs I got the nzxt aio. And mounting pressure the nuts stop once’s they are completely tight they don’t go any further

@@walkersgamingpcs if you do can you make a video
@@walkersgamingpcs okay for me to run memory test. You want me to run cinebench?
