My newly built PC ran fine for about a month, when I started noticing a decline in FPS while gaming. Checked some temperatures and noticed the Northbridge was running at 60C. Upon research, I found out that the Northbridge will start to throttle at 60C. Now, I am unsure whether my PSU or Motherboard is bad. I checked voltages in HWMonitor, and the +12V is running under 5v. I will include a picture of the HWMonitor screen. It looks like the 3.3 volt is a little low as well.
I have tried switching the PSU out with another one, and the problem persists. So I am about 90% sure it is the motherboard's issue. But, I am coming here for confirmation. I have also searched through the forums for about an hour before posting and I couldn't find anybody with a similar problem so I am sorry if this is a duplicate post. Image linked below. Also, I have all BIOS settings at default, with no OC. http://imgur.com/gxrDbDU
