Hi guys, thank you first of all. Right I am running a i7 2700k (oc'ed to 4.6, but I have not touched the voltage) on a asus v gene board with 8 gb of ram. It is cooled with a nh-d14 fan and the case has another 3 fans in it.
However, my issue is that under just normal use (ie a word doc say) my cpu will be at around 40c, then during some photo editing it can rise to over 80c! But then (it gets better) during gaming, splinter cell blacklist to be exact it reached the crazy heights of 94c!!!
So my question is whats wrong and what can I do about it? Is my cpu stuffed? I checked and the fan seems to be fitted ok with a good connect. I put fresh thermal paste on only yesterday so I know its not that.
Thank you once again for your help.
