Test Setup
For our tests, we will built a brand new PC build which is comprised of the MSI MAG Z890 TOMAHAWK WiFi motherboard, along with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor @ default speed, and the MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Vanguard SOC Launch Edition.
All tests were conducted at default/turbo clock speeds with XMP 1 mode at a minimum resolution of 1920×1080 or higher. High or Ultra settings enabled.

Load Temps
Using the MSI MAG CORELIQUID A13 360 AIO cooler with 3 x Pre-installed CycloBlade 7 ARGB GEN2 cooling fans, the temperature of the CPU package at 100% full load, reached a high of 91 degrees Celsius, and maximum of 70 to 89 degrees Celsius for the CPU Core. The E-Cores maxed out at 90 degrees Celsius, while the P-Cores hit between 82 to 84 degrees Celsius,
These temperature readings are within our expectations for an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor, so I’m more than pleased with the results.
We recommend to get yourself a good 360mm AIO Liquid cooler, if you plan to build a system with an AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors.
