Installed new mobo. Need help.
Okay guys, I've been a bit of pain the last few days on the forum here. I posted a thread about my BIOS and fixed the issue myself 20 seconds after.
Anyway, I'm having more issue with my system which I'm going to put them down to the motherboard and I thought I should make a thread where I can post all of the problems because there seems to be a few.
I'm using SIW to monitor my system so assuming this software is doing it's job here is what I've noticed.
1) Since Installing the new motherboard my CPU temperature has went up. It used to idle at 27C and whilst gaming hit no more than 38C. After the change it was 33C idle and I think topped out at 40C. I replaced the TIM with some Cooler master stuff I had and the temps went up again but I can put the 2nd rise down to the crappy CoolerMaster stuff. Now I'm hitting 33C-47C.
2) my CPU constantly seems to sit at 117.60W. Surely this couldn't be right. Is it not supposed to drop when not under as much use? I have also noticed my clock speed seems constantly stuck at 3684MHz and doesn't drop.
There is more but I'd like to try and get these two sorted first.
Thanks in advance.
