Hey all, I recently purchased a prebuilt and was noticing VERY high CPU temperatures when checking with coretemp and open hardware, as in like 110-115C and I immediately shut it off. This was the first time I ran it. Even when doing idle tasks such as opening up discord or a browser it ramps from idle 30-40C to 100 very quickly. I removed the cooler and noticed that the heat sink is actually slanted? I’m wondering if the heat sink was not actually flat across the CPU thus causing a drastic temperature increase. Thoughts on if this could be causing it the temp increase?
