Intel Core i7-13700K

amazon Intel Core i7-13700K reviews

In addition to having more cores than its predecessor Core i7-12700K, Core i7-13700K also comes with more threads, namely 16 cores and 24 threads compared to just 12 cores and 20 threads found on Core i7- 12700K.

Having more threads means your CPU can handle more things at once, so having more threads allows more apps to run at the same time, which also improves performance in multithreaded tasks. Multithreaded tasks include anything that requires processing multiple operations at once, as your PC needs to take in a lot of information at once for it to work smoothly.

Temperature problem

Core i7-13700K has improved performance compared to its predecessor, however, the temperature factor is still a problem that causes technology users to have a headache to be able to choose the right type of heat sink for Core i7-13700K.

Below is the actual test for us to get a detailed look at the temperature of the Intel Core i7-13700K CPU when accompanied by 5 air cooler codes.

All components that come with the Core i7-13700K and 5 air coolers are guaranteed to perform well to meet the requirements of the test.

All 5 air coolers are tested to run Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes, this test aims to record the CPU temperature according to the power consumption corresponding to each and the achieved clock level. Let’s see the results that each air cooler was selected by Biareview.

1, Noctua NH-D15

NH-D15 – this is the most expensive air cooler and it is also at the top of the best heat-dissipation air coolers.

The test has produced the following results: the TDP of the i7-13700K remains stable at 220W, the P Core clock rate is 5.3 GHz, the E Core clock level is 4.2 GHz, and the thing that received the most attention that’s the temperature, the temperature stays at 95 degrees is still a high-temperature number even though we have selected the best performing air cooler and used Noctua thermal paste in the array of air cooler accessories.

The fact that the NH-D15 can keep the TDP level stable and the clock high even though the temperature is still high, but the NH-15 maintains all three factors above stability for a long time proves that the NH-15’s heat dissipation performance is very good.

2, Noctua NH-U12A

Another heatsink from Noctua, specifically the code of this air cooler is Noctua NH-U12A, the price of U12A is similar to that of NH-D15.

The test has produced the following results: TDP remains stable at 220W, P Core clock level is in the range of 5.3 GHz, E Core clock level is 4.2 GHz, and it is worth mentioning here that the temperature level. slightly better, it was 96 degrees during the run of Cinebench R23.

U12A’s heat dissipation performance is still slightly worse than NH-D15, although the temperature of NH-D15 is still at 96 degrees, NH-D15 still retains high P Core and E Core clock rates and stable for a long time, while the NH-D15’s TDP is high, but it remains stable during the test. The 13900K uses a U12A sink with a TDP equal to that of the NH-15, but the temperature is 1 degree higher than that of the NH-D15, with the same P Core clock.

3, DEEPCOOL AK620

The third air cooler comes from the Deepcool brand, with the full code name DEEPCOOL AK620, the AK620 also delivers a very good heat dissipation effect.

The test gave the following results: TDP kept at 220W, E Core clock rate reached 4.2GHz, P-Core clock rate reached 5.2 – 5.3 GHz, and the temperature was still very high at 99 degrees. Despite being a reasonably priced air cooler, the AK620 still does a good job when pushing the power of the 13700K to the maximum and maintaining its power for a long time even though the temperature is still high.

4, ID-Cooling CPU SE-207-A

The test has produced the following results: Core i7-13700K has a TDP of 215W, a P Core clock between 5.2 – 5.3 GHz, an E Core clock of 4.2 GHz, and the temperature are still very good. That height is 100 degrees. The TDP is reduced but the temperature is still 100 degrees during the test, which proves that the SE-207 A has a worse heat dissipation efficiency than the AK620.

5, ID COOLING SE-226

The test process gave the following results: SE 226 has the lowest TDP of 5 air coolers selected by Biareview to test heat dissipation performance, specifically when going with SE 226, Core i7-13700K has a TDP of 210W, a P Core clock rate of 5.1 – 5.2 GHz, an E Core clock level of 4.1 – 4.2 GHz, and a high temperature of 99 degrees.

Having the lowest TDP but the temperature is still 99 degrees during the test, proves that the SE-226 has a bad heat dissipation effect, but because it is only about $45, I can’t blame the heat dissipation of the SE-226.

Conclude

With the results of the heat dissipation performance of 5 air coolers included in the actual test performed by Biareview, it can be concluded that – Almost all types of radiators with a price above $65 on the market all help 13700K unleash their full performance even though the temperature will still be high.

The choice of water coolers will help keep the Core i7-13700K’s temperature stable and performance will also be maintained stably in the long run.
