Like the title said, my CPU and VCORE-1 are overheating a lot, shutting down my pc every now and again when I get into some games such as Saints Row 4 or Assassins Creed 4.
I've already looked into getting some liquid cooling for the CPU. It will be coming in tomorrow, and I'll put that together then. That should fix my CPU overheating, [strike]but I don't know anything about the VCORE nonsense. What is it? Why is it overheating? How do I fix it?[/strike]
New issue that I would like to resolve :
I installed my liquid cooler to my CPU and it's working rather well - dropped my cpu temp to about 40 on idle, and 55 while under medium/heavy load... but this isn't good enough, to me. Is there a way I can speed up my coolers cycle speed? I've been doing some research and can't find a way to do it. I'm probably just looking in the wrong places and asking the wrong questions. So how do I amp up the speed of the water flow?
I am thinking of installing another fan on the other side to push air, so I'll have 2 fans on the radiator itself; one pushing and one pulling air. That should help, but I can assume it won't help much.
Also, I figured out what the VCORE is and that I'm not actually talking about the VCORE, I'm talking about the VRM... I took my old CPU Heatsink&fan and removed the fan from it, and placed it RIGHT over my VCORE to cool it off (although I don't have a bracket to hold it there... it's just me testing it, to see if it would help) and the fan runs about 2200 RPM, and lowered the temp of the vcore/vrm by 20 ~ 30C, depending on load amounts. It's working wonders! Now I just need to figure out how to bracket it properly.
General info -
I'm running with a AMD FX-9370 8-core processor, 4.41GHz,
Brand new hardware, completely new pc,
Tons of fans running on high speeds to keep the pc cool. I can link you to my case so you know what I'm working with.

PS: Sorry if this isn't specifically about the cpu in the cpu section of the forum. >.<
