Hi everyone.
I am having a problem with my CPU overheating at the moment and thought where better to look for help then the guys who push there CPU's to the limit. I have not overclocked my system and i am not currently looking to either (but as far as i know i have got the correct hardware to be able to at a later date if i so choose).
My system:
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D.
Power Supply: Corsair AX 860W Fully Modular 80+ Platinum.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FX-GAMING.
CPU: AMD FX-8370.
CPU Cooler: H100i v2 (formally known as H100i GTX). Currently running AMD stock cooler while my H100i is replaced under warranty.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Jet Black 16GB DDR3 2133 MHz CAS 10
Gfx Card: MSI GTX 970 Gaming.
HDD: Samsung 850 PRO SSD 512GB
Monitor: Asus VS278H 27" LED 1ms
My problem is my CPU keeps overheating regardless of what i try to keep it cool. In my BIOS every thing is set to auto/default for the CPU so i don't think its a option that i have set or anything. I have had CPUID HWMonitor running while typing this out and downloading a game via steam. So far my max package temperature has reached 63 deg C. Now i know this is too hot but the questions is why is it reaching these temperatures. I know the stock cooler is not ideal but surely it should be able to manage simple tasks. My VCORE reached a max of 1.440 V and my package power reached 45.90 W (i thought this should have been higher as i thought its a 125 W CPU).
I reinstalled windows in case it was something in windows causing the problem but its still the same.
I have attached some photos of screens that might be relevant in the bios along with a screen shot from HWMonitor.
Any help is appreciated.
