Hey there, cutting to the chase, my old mobo (Gigabyte H110M) decided to die so I changed it for a new one (AsRock B250 Gaming K4). I installed a clean install of Windows, formatted the drivers, did it all squeaky clean and everything sounded superb. Then, I noticed CPU temps going a little higher than normal, I figured it was 'cause the install was fresh so lots of processes were running simultaneously on the background. Ok, time to see if all was okay - started Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (Which is probably the most CPU-intensive game today) - Temps were hitting 96C and game was running crappily like it never did. I undervolted it to -0,080v (which is the lowest it can go before crashing), nothing changed, my CPU was still molten lava and performance was still shitty. Before the change temps would be 75~82C and game would run smoothly 60fps with rare drops to 59~58fps.
With other lighter applications it runs well with higher-than-normal-but-tolerable-temps. But it is sure having a less than desirable performance compared to what it was like with H110M.
My Specs:
Mobo: AsRock B250 Fatal1ty Gaming k4
CPU: i7 7700k 4,4Ghz w/ stock cooler
RAM: 2x8Gb
GPU: Gtx 1060 6Gb
OS: Windows 10 Pro
