Ouch. PC Mark 7 has never been the most reliable testing platform but even allowing for that it's ridiculous how badly the i9-9980XE shows here. Then again the i9-7980XE isn't much better so perhaps Futuremark just got this one wrong.

Those are insane temperatures. I mean, it's amazing that we've hit a temperature ceiling with something like a 360mm AIO at max fan speeds. It shows how Intel's CPUs scale with voltage and remain stable. But it feels like such a shame, like such an odd product.Quote

How is 68 degrees insane?
If you complain that is gets hot when you start OC'ing then you are missing the point here. This is not a product made for manual OC'ing.
It seems to run perfectly fine, when used as intended.Quote
