My PC has recently been experiencing a weird periodic hiccup. It freezes for a tenth of a second every 2 seconds. So I pulled up HWMonitor to check how my components were doing, GPU is at low util, fans off. Case fans are at low, CPU is at 54C idle, no problems, until I see my mainboard temp is 111C! Now I usually dont check MB temp so I dont know how long this has been going on, but I figure that I need to solve this, any ideas? It's a Gigabyte H97N-WIFI board, CPU is an i7-4770k, GPU is a 1060, my CPU fan is a coolermaster double piped heatsink, I have 2 case fans that work with CPU fan to create a front to back airflow, with side intake from the GPU fans.
