CPU temps increased after installing new PSU.
I installed a new Corsair HX1500i in my PC but it wouldn't start. I smelled smoke and shut it down. Opened it up to restart and find the source of the smoke. The SATA cable connected to my DVD drive melted. I unplugged it and my system started just fine. I was able to start gaming and downloading again.
Then I ran a hardware monitor and it told me that my CPU was at 100°. It's never broken 62°. Is it possible that my PSU is pushing too much power to my system? The setup says my core voltage is around 0.940 v. I have an i9-10900k and it is recommended to be between 0.8 and 1.5v.
