Hi guys,

Recently I'm running my AMD Phenom II X4 965 at almost 3.7 ghz wich went pretty good, but after a while the CPU Cores went constantly at full power.. Even when I'm at idle!
Usually the cores were at 50% (like 1.8 ghz), but now they're all running at 3.7 at all times.. Temperatures got real high up to 66 degrees celcius when playing BF3 at ultra.

My setup:

Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0
AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.7 ghz
MSI GTX 680
Antec Kuhler h2o 920
600 Watt Coolermaster Silent Pro
Win7 64-bit
