Thermals
As you can tell from the last screenshot, the CPU temperature of the i9-12900k is at the high level
even for an overclocked CPU.
For this reason we suggest you to use a custom water-cooling and adjust the TjMAX Temperature
to 115°C.
You will find the “TjMAX Temperature” option under the Advanced CPU Settings submenu in
Tweaker tab.
Results
We’ve increased frequency from 4.9GHz to 5.2GHz—a 300MHz increase! The results of our
overclocks can be seen in the Cinebench R23 benchmark below.
