First off, this is my build.

This is the first PC I built - so don't judge too harshly. So far, it's running pretty smoothly; however, I have noticed that cooling is good for all components except the CPU. (Before everyone asks, I did purchase a CPU cooling unit and I applied higher quality thermal paste that did not come with the components).

Here are some more photos to help see what's going on:











I'm thinking it has something to do with the voltages. I have gotten notifications saying my VDDA voltage has dropped really low before.... Or maybe I should redo the thermal paste?

Any advice would be highly appreciated....I don't want to cook anything!
