- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoDoubtful. I did find an old message on Discord though where I talked about it: > Ran the CPU torture tests in Prime95 on my new i9 with this Cooler Master Hyper 212 air cooler. When doing the Small FFTs test which generates maximum heat, yeah, it does suffer some thermal throttling. It'll run for about 30 seconds at full speed, then it'll enter a pattern where it throttles down to 3.6 Ghz for about 1/2 second, then jumps back up to 4.5 Ghz for 2 seconds, then throttles again. For the other two tests, it happily just hums without throttling at about 60 C. But even when suffering from thermal throttling, it's still faster than my old i7-3770k. Thing is, right now, if I do the "Large FFTs" test, it's hitting 90C, whereas before it was only 60C. I've had this CPU now for 4 years, and I have 3 cats and my computer is only a few inches off the floor. I wonder if I just need to dust out the cooler.
