I started to recording my TV shows using PLEX and then followup with MCEBuddy to delete most if not all commercials, as this combo does a good job. My question is this. I was watching my temps using CPUID HWMonitor and got kinda of worried about what I was seeing. I'm hoping someone can tell me if I have room to spare. I'm mostly concern about the under the Label Temp Package and Core and then under the Label Powers Package. While recording using PLEX, my numbers where Temp Package: 40.0c and Temp Cores: 40c and under Power Package: 56.17watts. I'm really sure this is okay. But when MCEBuddy kicked in (the video editing program), my numbers where Temp Package: 70c and Cores: 70c and my Power Package: 205.04 watts. Is this about average?

Hi,
I'd ditch hw monitor it's not very good
Hwinfo64 sensors only is a lot better I use the portable and an older version v6.08 because the polling isn't as bad

Plus not sure why you record commercials seeing obs studio has a pause option you can add a hotkey to use it plus the same to resume :cool:

TDP is 125w for the chip so you're doing just fine.

Concerned about your PSU?

What is your current hardware, since you mention an 11900K but I see "i7 9700" in your system specs....
 
Because I can't add a second system spec in, these are the current specs of the I9:

I'm not sure what your looking for.
 
Hi,
That's funny I list three systems lol
 
Are you using the intel iGPU?

I don't think there's anything to worry about.
 
For one of my monitors yes, and the other two monitors 43" and 27" are using the AMD which is listed under the I7 specs. I wish ThrashZone would tell me how he could list 3 systems, then I could list my two. I could go in and list my 5 systems if he wants to know what they are (LOL).
 
Hi,
You are entering to much info for a single item.
Just add a separator and then the next cpu/... I use the & as one.

Roger Dodger on the flip side. - ThrashZone.

ShrimpBrime - Thanks for that info. Wasn't to sure if I was getting close to the danger zone with the watts. I do know about the TJ Max and mine when doing the video editing is around 70c which I can go to 100c. 80c would be pushing it. I guess it almost time to tear this monster down and clean it again :(.​

Thanks for your insight.

You can bounce off tjmax all day long. Wattage wise, you'll fine. You want to think about voltage first, temp second and wattage last.

If your not manually setting the voltage beyond the VID auto, nothing to worry about.
