How to Fix i9-10900k (benchmark) temps

Graphics issues usually stem from an unsupported GPU, missing acceleration patches, or incorrect boot arguments.

Quick Fix Steps

  1. Verify GPU support: Check if your GPU model is natively supported in your target macOS version via WhateverGreen documentation.
  2. Update kexts: Ensure Lilu and WhateverGreen are current and loaded before other GPU-related kexts.
  3. Check boot arguments: Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 for debugging, or agdpmod=pikera for modern AMD cards.
  4. Test Metal support: Open About This Mac > System Report > Graphics and confirm Metal is listed.

Verification

  • Graphics acceleration is smooth (not CPU-bound).
  • Metal is reported in System Information.
  • No GPU-related kernel panics on boot.

Original Question: "i9-10900k (benchmark) temps"

Hey all,

Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but...

I ran Cinebench and the scores are where they should be (6515 multi, 536 single) but the CPU was running really hot while the benchmark was running, like 100C according to HWmonitor. I had activity monitor running and it didn’t seem to be throttling, but is that an ok temp? One other thing: HWmonitor only shows eight of my ten cores...does this mean that my fakeSMC could be set up wrong?

I’ve been having some h264 playback issues in Premiere, and was wondering if my thermal paste could be the culprit...or if it’s just Premiere sucking.

Thank you!

MacOS 10.15.6 Intel i9-10900k Gigabyte z490 Vision D 64GB RAM Vega 64
