Hey guys, I have a core i7 build with an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 board. I have never overclocked anything and when I put the computer together it started up no problems and I have never had any problems since. However, I decided yesterday to install RealTemp and I am running around 60-70ish idle temps and when I started up a game it says the max it reached was 100 Celsius. I know these temps are way to high. I am using the stock cooler.
When I get home I think im gonna make sure the heatsink is set properly. However, if it is set properly what could be causing this? I read somewhere that the Asus boards can set the voltage too high for the CPU when it is set to Auto. Is this the case? or should I try an aftermarket cooler?
