Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU Review: Performance, Thermals & Power Analysis

Max Operating Temperature (Blender)

To check the operating temperatures, I run Blender instead of Prime95 and small FFTs, which apply an unrealistically high load to the CPU.

The max operating temperature in Blender is low at 77C. Even at the extreme performance profile, the maximum temperature stays controlled using a top-performance air cooler (Noctua NH-D15 G2). Strangely enough, the 13900K also achieves a low max temperature here despite its high power consumption. If I kept the load for a more extended period, 15-20 minutes, the 13900K’s temperatures would climb higher. For reference, in Prime95, the 285K has a 5C lower max temperature than the 13900K.
