Hi guys,

The thing is my i7 3770 3.4ghz CPU is overheating up to 80 degrees C, even though the performance is 50%. I have got liquid cooler antec kuhler 620 and I never had any problems with overheating before.

My radiator is clean, as well as everything else inside the box. I have tried Speedfan to test fan speed and the thing is it stays around the same RPM. The exhaust fan seems to be working as well as pipes get hot.

It is though important to mention that I've accidentally bended cpu fan connection (it was plugged when I were installing my PSU) so those 3 pins are bended. I tested it plugged/unplugged and it works. Anyway I've bended it a month ago and never had overheating issues. But still could it be an issue?

Anyway why the hell does it overheats?
