Hey guys,

Setup: MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard, AMD FX-8320, GTX 960, Corsair H50, Thermaltake 750W

Problem: Overheating (80C+)

I've tried to change settings in bios, setting on catalyst control center, settings on MSI command center and I'm getting nowhere fast. The motherboard has a "Slow Mode" switch, when active my temps never go over 25 but performance takes a massive hit. It's pretty much the only way I've been using it. I've bought 6 new fans for the tower, checked the CPU for bent pins, re-seated the CPU, removed and reapplied the thermal paste a billion times over the past year.

I'm not into overclocking at all.

If anyone could help me or see something i'm overlooking I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
