9700k Noctua NH U9A high temps

What is your ambient temp? Do you have the vented side panel or windowed. If vented do you have an intake fan on the right side of the fan bracket? If windowed are you using the rear 92mm fan as intake or exhaust?
I did a random check in the net for people with similar OC/voltage of 9700k with top air cooler. It seems your temp is not far different from theirs. Idle temp seems just a little high. But then, there are many factors affecting this:- cooler fan speed at idle, ambient temp...etc
The best way to eliminate the 'case factor' from the equation is:- remove the side panel (and maybe also use a good size desk fan to blow fresh air gently onto the case) and redo the test. So, 'hot air not being exhausted from the case fast enough', 'hot air being recirculated inside the case', 'cool ambient air not entering the case fast enough' issues are all eliminated.

My ambient is 26C, im using vented side panels with no side fan (yet). Rear fan is exhaust and bottom fans too.
Yeah i think temps are quite in the range for this setup, I ended up blending in prime95 and max temp was aroung 77C at 1.28v, seems good enough for a 92mm fan.
My fan curves are default, I will have to keep tuning this, but im not quite sure from where to start.
I would suggest a good intake fan, not only will it supply fresh air for the Noctua it will also help cool your motherboard components.
Yeah I know, but Im out of fan headers on the MB, so Im waiting to get a splitter so I can plug the side intake fan
Those temps would be expected at that voltage for 8 threads. However, you’re probably not going to be prime AVX stable at that voltage. Try running a long Blender render and Prime small fft AVX. Watch the temps and core clocks when you do. If it goes over 100 stop the test immediately.
What is your long term wattage set to?
