Hello, my core I7 is idly about 60C, which from my knowledge is pretty high for idle; not to mention I have a kraken x61 water cooler for the system with insignia heat grease.
I went through all the solutions online I could find, lowering the processing max to 30%, and dropping the voltage .50; and still idling at 60c; prior to both of those the computer would gradually climb up to 100c and crash; which I though in of itself was a little silly and absurd.
Pulling up a game or several windows as of now, the CPU temp will gradually climb before crashing; typically takes less than an hour. We're talking, like min graphics for WoW too - so nothing really demanding.
I've reinstalled the heatsink and heat grease around 12 times, and it has not helped any. Yes, the exhaust fans are indeed sending out air (Cool air, I might add.) and the intakes are indeed bringing in air. As well, the motherboard and graphics card have all stayed at about 35-40c without fluctuating much, especially compared to the I7.
First computer build and all, it's a set straight from a youtube channel, followed the 2 hour video to the T and then several other videos to make sure all was well; so I really have no idea what could possibly be wrong.
Please send help. :<
