Hey guys,
So a while back, I wanted to create an overclocked dedicated server so I built a server with a 3770k overclocked to 4.6Ghz. It had an h100i cooler + an asus motherboard. Recently, however, I wanted to take the server home in order to upgrade it so I bought a 4770k and a MSI MPower MB as I heard those were good at overclocking. For some reason, however, I seem to be getting extremely high temps. I am contemplating over if it was one of the following issues.
- Cooler broken (seems the light turns off after boot, but I still feel the liquid pumping. I assume that the light burnt after months of constant power?)
- The MB had 2 8 pin connectors for the CPU; however, my 380W PSU only had one 8 pin connector so I plugged that one in. I read online that one would be suffient though.
Despite those two things, I don't know what else could have gone wrong to make my temps extremely high. They get up to 80 degrees celcius ON IDLE. It would be great if you guys can help me out here. Thanks.
