Alright, so i've read around trying to find a fix to the problem but no luck so far. A few days ago I had to reinstall steam because of a error that I won't get into. Since I don't exactly have the best internet speeds in the world (Thanks Spectrum) I needed to leave the computer on for 2 nights After the 2nd night being over halfway done at that point my internet started disconnecting randomly so I thought I've just been running it too long or something. I then decide to turn my PC on and off hoping it was just an easy fix. (which it was) But when my computer turned back on I got a CPU temperature error.

At that point i'm a bit puzzled because everything was working fine not too long ago, so I do my usual troubleshooting (Disconnecting checking bios setting all that jazz.) when none of that works I decide alright, maybe my thermal paste is old I change that out still not luck. It's the good stuff too. (Arctic arctic silver 5) So, now i'm here utterly stumped. I can only assume it's a wiring thing at this point because, I know I don't need a new cooler since I have a Corsair H115i.

Here's all the specs

Corsair H115i

Asus deluxe x99

Intel i7 5930k with no overclocking.

And the temperature goes up to about 85C and idles there,

I also ended up adding that little LED cable to the H115i since I had gotten new LEDS but I don't know why that would be the problem.
