Hi,

I have an i7 4770k with the Asetek 570LX watercooler. I was benchmarking my CPU to see how it faired against others, and found that it would randomly spike from 65 to 85 + degrees. I used PRIME95.

I recently discovered a short in my motherboard which causes the computer to sometimes not boot when it is turned off. Maybe this could be related?

Anyone got any idea what could have happened?
