CPU overheating running at 1.32v

[joseph9012]

CPU is overheating at 90oC and 1.32v. I haven't overclocked or touched anything, is this too high? I have a i5 6600k, hyper evo 212 and msi pro carbon gaming.
Also heard I should make sure llc is max?

Yes, quite high for stock clocks and 1.35v may be a bit much for the hyper 212 evo as you can see.. Around 1.2-1.25v should be enough. You do not need LLC on at all unless you are overclocking, LLC reduces VDROOP which basically lowers core voltage under load lower than what you manually set. LLC set to max will pretty force your 1.35v setting at all times even under load which will increase temps. Not sure why you are doing these things to a stock cpu, just leave it alone unless you plan to overclock.

I didn't know what llc was but told I should put it on. Now I won't be turning that on and will lower the voltage

Its a good setting to use when your overclocking. I have a modest 4.7ghz OC on my 7700k and I use level 4 out of 6 LLC on my mobo. LLC keeps the core voltage more stable under load which helps the overall stability of the cpu under load. But you just dont need it at stock clocks all it will do for you is increase heat.
