Recently put together my first gaming build nothing special fairly budget. After two weeks of normal operation it started performing emergency shutdowns whenever I put it under any kind of load (Borderlands 2, Vicera Cleanup Detail ect.). Here comes the strange part. I've been using several programs to monitor the temperature of my CPU and while it does get warm, 50-55 Celsius, it's never hit 60, at least according to the temp monitors.
Here's the build
AMD FX-6300
XFX R9 270 Core edition
Gigabyte FXA990 UD3
EVGA NEX650G
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Zalman Z9 Plus
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
I've already remounted the CPU cooler once making sure to spread the paste nice and evenly. The following is a list of temperature monitoring software I've used.
HWmonitor
AMD overdrive
SIW
Core Temperature
CPU thermometer
