Hi, I've searched the Forums, but can't find info on my specific issue. I built my system in 2015 and have never had an issue until now. I noticed my games were starting to drop frame rates dramatically, so I investigated and found that my CPU temps were running at 97c to 100c constantly at idle or under load. Opening or closing programs doesn't seem to make a difference. I didn't change anything. The only thing I did was move to a new house and plug in speakers.
I applied new thermal paste today, but that did not help. Any advice would be appreciated.
Windows 7
i5 4690k (stock speed)
Z97 Killer MB
16 mb RAM
GTX 1070 (just upgraded, but problem existed with old GTX 970)
Corsair H100i liquid cooler
All case fans (3) and cooler fans (2) are functioning . GPU temp is running at around 52c at idle.
Edit: Also, while I'm just sitting here surfing, I notice the CPU load spikes dramatically once in a while to 100%
