CPU I7-7700K Running 100*C

[gunnygucho]

Hey Guys, my computer after doing a windows update and NZXT CAM software update has been running at 100*C on all cores. Both the CAM software and the MOBO bios state the CPU temps are at 100*C.

I ran an update yesterday before getting off my computer and today when I start it up multiple times my fans on my Kraken X62 spin up completely. I don't feel any heat on the RAD or the pump. I built this computer a month ago and every once in a while on boot up it would spike to 75-80 for a second or two then come right back down and everything would be fine.

PC Parts:
Intel I7-7700k
NZXT Kraken X62 AIO v.2
MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Hybrid
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB
M.2 NVMe 512 960 EVO
2TB WD Black

I have already checked the temperatures in two places as stated above and not sure it's a false reading considering one is from the MOBO and one from the AIO cooler. I checked to see if the AIO pump was installed correctly and am 100% sure it is. I also tried tightening the pump and on two of the screws I could get another 1/4 turn. Didn't fix the issue though. What else could be wrong?

No over clock. Running everything stock speeds.

Check your cooler is functioning or RMA your cooler

Given all the poor reviews of that AIO complaining about a broken pump, I'd guess that's what happened to you

OMG, RMA the fan, get a cryorig one

Would a bad pump cause the Clock speed to be as erratic as it is? I'm jumping for 800-4400.

Intel chips can throttle to as low as 200MHz to prevent overheating, so yes. It's doing that to hold temperatures at 100C

High temperature will cause erratic behavior, get a good cooler first.

I am going to buy a Noctua NH-U14s to try out while I RMA my NZXT. Thanks for your help and will update Friday if the issue is fixed.

....<imagine hearing taps playing in background in honor of the above's 8-10 months of faithful service!> 🙁

Thanks for your help guys as I stated above I'm going to buy a Noctua NH-U14s as a temporary solution with my X62 gets RMA'd. I will update Friday to let you know if the issue is solved. Thanks again.
