CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

i7-14700K idle temperatures at 90 degrees and 5% load. The recent generations of CPUs suck. (alien.top)

I'm using an air cooler with the fans set to 0RPM.

What's odd is that if I turn the fans on, the temps stay the same. I don't understand why the fans don't seem to do anything to cool the CPU.

I'm not sure if the CPU is throttling. Does the i7-14700k have a Watt limit of 125 TDP or max power limit of 254W?

I see both numbers reported on the spec sheet.

If I have better cooling, would the W number in CoreTemp go up to 125W or 254W? I've seen other threads where this CPU uses around 80W for gaming and it's enough. But if it gets pushed to the limit, will the max be 125W or 254W?
