Problem: Bought a desktop off of cyberpower, then made some upgrades to it 2 weeks later. I had my dad swap out the parts since he works in IT for a living. Well after about 3-4 hours to swap out the power supply, ram, and add a 2nd graphics card with sli the cpu overheats (goes up to 88° C) and the computer auto loads me into BIOS. I did some research and found that I should check the part of the water cooling that goes over the processor and see if it's loose at all or see if one tube is hotter than the other to know if the water cooling is faulty (the tubes were same temp except for where they met the cpu.)

▪are the new upgrades

Specs:
-XSPC RAYSTORM D5 PHOTON AX 240mm WATERCOOLER KIT
-6800 i7 skylake 6 core
-EVGA Geforce gtx 1070 (the standard black 1 fan)
▪EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6276-KR, 8GB GDDR5
▪Thermaltake toughpower grand series rbg 750w
▪Corsair Vengeance LED 32gb (4 x 8gb ddr4 3200)
-XSPC RAYSTORM D5 PHOTON AX 240mm WATERCOOLER KIT

Extra notes: My assumption is I have to much power? I'm probably wrong but I went from a 600w to a 750w so I don't know if that's a lot for computers. I didn't have any of these isues before upgrading, however after doing so the fans did not turn on, I quickly found what was wrong (the fans with the water cooling were plugged into some kind of white splitter, I moved them to the mother board.)
