So I am upgrading my system and got a i7-7700k in the mail. Old cpu is a i5-6500. I tested to make sure the i7 works and it did booting up my system. Then I put in my old cpu so i could play games until thursday when my new case and h100i water cooling gets here. Now I have msi afterburner and have the setting turned on so I can see cpu temps while in game. Displays it in purple. I seen the temp rise to 95 degress in just 2 minutes. I shut the game down and I look at msi and it says 52 with no signs on the history that it ever reached 95 degrees. So I am thinking what the heck. So my friend says maybe its msi is lying. So I downloaded hwinfo and it says it reaches temp of 80 degrees but with 50 degrees as idle where msi says idle is 30 degrees. I know I put the right pea shape of thermal paste on. The cpu fan is spinning and is on auto. Then I try setting fan speed manually to 100% and same thing happens. What is going on? Thanks in advance. Btw the fan speed was at 1025 rpm in hwinfo but when i set fan speed in msi to 100%, the hwinfo still said 1025 rpm but yet i heard the fan speed up. I also tried restarting the system to no avail. Any help would be great.
