I have my cpu running at 4.9ghz @ 1.25v. My cpu at idle is around 38c on be quiet pure rock air cooler.
I started to smell a burning smell so i opened the case and I smelt the power delivery while the pc was on, and it smelt like burning plastic, I touched the heatsink for the power delivery and it was hot, just like a hot bath would be (maybe lower) my software says the motherboard is on 30c but I dont believe that.
What are safe temps for a motherboard?
Naturally I turned my overclock to stock and the motherboard was a lot cooler. Luke warm. Am I okay with having my overclock? I really doubt that 1.25v would damage anything. Im a bit scared as this is my first gaming pc I've built.
Here is an older picture when I didn't have my graphics card yet, now I have a gtx 1050 ti.
