Apologies, this topic has changed a bit and should be in another forum.. originally had trouble getting into my ASRock BIOS in addition to the below issue.. but I handled that much, at least.
-----
Hiya - earlier tonight, was using my setup in HTPC mode and it shut down.. I'm assuming it overheated, because I opened my A-Tuning (ASRock tweaking software) on reboot and saw my CPU temperature running around 80C at idle, up to 95C (!).
Which is, clearly, not good.
I have push/pull fan setup, CS450M inverted to extract air, running a simple i5-4590 with EVGA GTX 750 Ti Superclocked in a Cooler Master Elite 130. Nothing earth-shattering.
Also have a Corsair H60 (supposedly) on CPU cooling duty. The push fan is attached to the CPU fan and the H60 is hooked into the 3-pin case fan.
Now, I've been playing The Witcher maxed out for a couple weeks and had no issues until today.. admittedly, I was not monitoring temperatures, but I would assume The Witcher runs hotter than an episode of Longmire running on XBMC.
I have already removed the H60, cleaned it off and reapplied thermal paste, in the event the thermal paste/mounting was to blame. No change. While I've never mounted a liquid cooler before, I'm pretty sure it's mounted correctly. Not too much paste, either.
Got into my BIOS.. the fans were all listed at default setting. I cranked them, just to see.. no real difference.
I am presently at a loss. I'm tempted to throw the stock cooler back on the i5-4590, to see if that brings the CPU temp to something a bit more reasonable (for reference, MB temperature is 26C, roughly 1C over ambient temp). I'm also open to recommendations on what might fit into a Cooler Master Elite 130 and provide good airflow, if the H60 is just DOA from Overstock.
Thanks in advance for any help.. any help at all.
