Please help my cpu is over heating! So after building my gaming pc which was running awsome with a i7 6700t (locked version), i found a deal for the i7 6700k (unlocked version) a few days later so i upgraded. The 6700t ran at about 20 C, about 40 C with load. My new 6700k runs (at load ) high 80s which is to high and if i let in stresss test it would have gone higher. Base operating temps were at 35 and im getting high temps when ever app or game loads. I changed in bios: intel quick-step to off, i turned it back on again and got 19-23 C ((800 mhz) and proves my water cooler is working); I also used ASUS ez tuning wizard; first start up it recognized the new cup as well. I did my own thermal paste (Arctic MX-4) i used a pea size glob and did not spread it becuase i heard the pressure from the cooler being placed on it smears it perfectly with out porosity. Im going to try to reset the cmos to see if that solves anything. Everything is upto date, new, installed carefully and i checked the temp with servel tools. Any ideas to solve this would be awesome thanks, it is only a few days old should i go get a new one well i still can?
