Hi,
What was the temperature at the time of the screen shot ?
I've already done that,I'm not sure how this is software related.
Cleared BIOS,no OC.
fresh OS install.
Hi,
It's probably not :)
If you have a H80 liquid cooler did you also download Corsair link installer for the cpu cooler ?
Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the download,
Hydro Series™ H80i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Yes of course,and even if i did not have Corsair link installed the temp won't go so high,not even close to it.
As i have said,the temp is much higher with the H80i,it reaches 75c on idle with it,so I'm no longer using the H80i,I'm using the stock fan for now.
Hi,
Could very well be a bad cpu ?
As stated the liquid coolers are
But as you have tried 2 and are still seeing high temperatures cpu is likely
Where was all these components bought from exactly ?
Can you see this high temperature from BIOS?
High temperature means high usage. What process is using the CPU at high rate?
It could be that the on-die temp sensor has malfunctioned and is giving false readings. No way that thing should idle at 52 - 55C, unless the HSF isn't fitted properly, or there is no thermal compound.
I can't see any reason other than those three things. Unless the CPU itself is damaged and reporting a bad temp.
"on-die temp sensor" where is that located at ? CPU or MB ?
