The current model is something along the lines of GA-990FXA-UD5 and it overheats so hot, that the motherboard like, Shuts down. I have an NZXT Kraken x61, and, I dont wanna just sit there and let my CPU Cook for any longer, I finally got a job, So, I can fix, Well, Either My CPU problem, or, My MB problem. It also sounds like my MB overall just has a conflict with everything, It causes errors in arma, Causes heat issues, all the likes.

It's the same topic. If a moderator sees, they're going to merge and grumble. If everyone made a new thread for every aspect of their issue, the forums would be even more unwieldy and fewer people would get their problem read by someone.

You really can't do better than the UD5 for that CPU. It has a robust cooling system for the VRMs and chipset, but you need to make sure your case is properly ventilated and provide additional cooling for the VRMs with an additional fan pointing at them (zip tie a 90mm fan to something in the case so it is pointing in that area of the motherboard). Also, I'd strongly recommend turning off turbo in the BIOS so that the CPU stays at 4.7 Ghz and undervolt it if possible. I actually have that CPU with turbo off and 1.4v and it runs much, much cooler than at stock voltage with turbo on. The performance difference is completely unnoticeable.
