Recently bought this pre-built: https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC...07VGJDKZ4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8. Specs are there.
Motherboard is built by ASRock...a B360M Xtreme (I think it's a modified Pro4)
Stock Intel Fan is installed. I don't do any overclocking or heavy rendering. Just audio workstation and some gaming.
At idle, I'm getting CPU temps anywhere between 32-50c. BIOS confirms that.
However, while playing a game monitoring software is showing temps that reach 100c. MSI Afterburner is showing 100% usage at times. This seems especially strange because I experience no ill effects in game. No stutter, noticeable slow down...I mean, at 100c I'd think the whole computer would just shut off.
I've used CoreTemp, SpeedFan, MSI Afterburner and they all report the same thing.
Any thoughts on why that might be? How can I get such a hot temp and high usage and not see any effect? Hoping it's a "duh" answer. CyberpowerPC is sending me a free cooler replacement, but it's just the same stock one and I have no reason to think they did it wrong the first time. My main confusion, again, comes from the fact that the system even let's itself get that hot.
