Ok let me start off saying this is not a CPU problem, it's kind of false advertising lol. The cpu has finally reached a temperature I don't like. I know that so called temperature is not correct on AMD cpus, but here is the thing.... When I first bought the CPU and up until about a year ago, it would ONLY max out at around 48c!!!!!!!!! I have a hyper 212, I know I should only be maxing this cpu out at 48-52c because I used to run prime95 and only max out at 55c. Now, 2 years later, multiple bios updates and rollbacks, no ram issues, no gpu or anything else issues, I maxed out (for the first time) at 64c playing this game that's in beta. but also my max temps went up in all of my games. WHAT could be the issue? GPU stays at temps it's ALWAYS ran at, only the CPU is acting like this. Motherboard issue?????????????? I'm not saying this issue is new, but it is bothersome. I noticed that after one windows 8 (i know, i know) update, it SEEMS like that is what caused it around a year ago. Could windows have done this??? Please before answering, read everything and ponder.
Edit: Also, I do not throttle or have unnecessary frame drops in my games, nor have I EVER BSOD'd, not even today when it hit 64c.
