Hi everyone, I was over clocking my CPU and completely misunderstood how the dynamic voltage worked on my board and I ended up shooting almost 1.6v through it getting all cores to 100c for 5-10 seconds or so while using CineBench before realizing what I had done. What was weird is that the...

I just bought a new cpu 2 days ago and it has a very high cpu temp whenever I open games like league for example (should stay at 50c) The cpu is an i7-9700k and today I bought some thermal paste and thought it would help the temp go down whenever I play stuff and at first it was around 40c...
