Recently I upgraded my GPU and RAM, and today I noticed the fan noise while playing some KSP. Looked at my i7 8700 temps, and to my horror, they were close to 90C. Booted BFV, and I even got a 99C high mark.
On idle, it stands around 46/60, roughly 20C higher than it's supposed to be, from what I read. I updated bios, changed thermal paste, turned MCE off, even turned turbo off, the temps remain roughly the same. I only saw a promising change when I changed paste, but the temps soon climbed again. Tomorrow I'm doing a clean windows install in case it helps. Whrn IU boot up, theres a huge temp spike, around the high 80s, then it settles on its now "usual" 50-60C. I read through the pinned thread, but honestly, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here are my specs:
CPU is an I7, 8700, non-k, with it's stock cooler.
CPU is not OC's, currnetl at 3200MHz, when Turbo was on I saw it up to 4.6 MHZ iirc.
Max VCore seems to be 1.056V, while running Prime 95 for a few minutes.
Max VCore on startup reaches to 1.312 V, this seems suspicious.
Reading my temps from HWiNFO
My ram is 2x16 3200MHz Ballistix, set at 2666 MHz.
MB is an ASUS Z370 A Prime
Graphics is an RTX 3060ti
Ambient temp is around 24C.
On bios, Temps look perfect, around 30C.
Here are some snips from HWinfo, and CPUZ,
and some numbers that caught my eye after that temp spike during boot. Why are IA Cores Power and CPU package power triple than when idling?
XMP Profiles are off, and now that I remember, I've been seeing a few blue screens, more than before. Maybe 2 or 3 last month, when maybe I saw one every 3 or 4 months. Could the new RAM be the culprit?
