I've been having issues with my cpu, at least i thought it was my cpu, when today i find my motherboard has been running at an extremely high temp. My guess is it might be a RAM problem, but what else could it be?
System Specs:
i7-5930k
Titan X x2
Rampage V Extreme
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 2666 Mhz
Swiftech H240-x
Corsair RM 1000 PSU

1.) Install Speccy and hwinfo and monitor your component temperatures
2.) Clean your computer and replace thermal paste on your CPU
3.) Install new drivers and flash NEW motherboard BIOS

I doubt that RAM causes the problems

Latest CPU bios:

2015/04/07
RAMPAGE V EXTREME BIOS 1401

Already have the latest BIOS, and just cleaned the computer. Computer temps were fine, but differed between different programs. Considering the temps were fine, I'm at a loss for what could cause me to suddenly have problems.
