Hello, I have recently bought a Scythe Katana 4 cooler. I installed it and everything and now it seems that the cpu is overheating under load. The temperature is jumping like crazy and I have 7 fans installed in the Zalman Z11plus case. Any suggestions?

Those temps are very high. Try reapplying the thermal paste (Maybe a new brand?). I would also check that all the fans are working correctly and that a cable hasn't come loose .

I just reworked the wiring and saw that some screws were loose, but not the ones that connect to the motherboard. I also reaplied thermal paste differently and everything. Now it idles at 30°C and reaches maximum 56°C under heavy load. Thank you all. PROBLEM SOLVED!!
