I recently upgraded my motherboard and cpu for my gaming pc. My old motherboard couldnt support the numerous fans my Case provided so i bought a new motherboard but in turn also had to upgrade my cpu.
Anyway i installed everything and alls working great however at least 4 times out of 10 when i turn my pc on before it gets to the splash screen it i get the "CPU overheating error, Press F1 to run Setup"
When i press F1 im taking into my Asus motherboard setup settings and it gives me a whole load of information from how many fans i have running, to the fans RPM and the CPU temperature. When i get the overheating error and i press F1 my cpu temp is usually sitting at about 71°C and then instantly starts to drop to about 60, as soon as it starts to drop i am able to save and exit and all works fine. The CPU is brand new, surely a brand new cpu cant ramp its temp up to 70°C as soon as its turned on?

Can anyone help?
 


The cpu cooler i got with the cpu is the one im using.
 


I have a Asus MAximum VIII Ranger Motherboard
I7 - 6700 Processor
4 x 16gb DDR4 RAM

1TB Seagate HD
PSU 550W

I am running Windows 8 at the moment.
 


That's odd. Top-quality components shouldn't act like that. When you manage to get into the system, have you checked temps on a software like CoreTemp or HWMonitor?

71°C in the BIOS is super hot, and i'm not sure how it would get to those temps, even on a stock cooler.
