I'm not sure what's going on with this thing. I got a new case with 4 fans, 2 pointing out and 2 inside blowing in. When idle or under light activity the CPU is 29-37C below the thermal threshhold in AMD Overdrive. If I load my video rendering program and put a video there, not even rendering just sitting in queue it goes right over the thermal threshold by 1-5C unless underclocked and when actually rendering it goes 10-12 C over and quickly gets turned off. Once the program is closed temperatures rapidly drop. I've used this rendering program for months and it worked fine until a few days ago.
I also replaced the stock cooler with a Cooler Master T2 but this didn't make a difference. I also opened the case and looked around and found I installed a fan backwards but fixing that didn't make a difference either. Everyone I see with this processor makes it run much cooler so what am I doing wrong here?
