Intel Socket LGA1700 Temperature Readings

Just like on the previous page, we're starting with the chart showing CPU temperature across the entire TDP range. Do note that on Intel the thermal throttle point is not 95 °C like on AMD, but 100 °C, and it can be manually increased in the BIOS to 115 °C.

Intel Socket LGA1700 Max Heat Load

The maximum heat load chart indicates the sustained wattage each cooler can handle during testing before experiencing thermal throttling. Essentially, the higher the wattage a cooler can manage, the better it performs in challenging conditions. While every processor and system is unique with many factors, it gives us a useful idea of what both Air and AIO coolers can do.

Intel Socket LGA1700 Set TDP Results

Our new review style replaces the base clock / overclocked results with charts at specific TDPs, which demonstrate cooling performance at a certain power level. The lower wattage results give us a better idea of how a CPU cooler performs with entry-level processors. On the other hand, the mid and high TDP tests show the cooling performance under a heavy load for mid-range and high-end AMD and Intel CPUs.
