I have a 7-7700k cpu that is not oc'd. When I moved to college I noticed that it was seriously struggling to do anything at all after downloading a bunch of GPU drivers. I figured out that the CPU was running at 100c so I decided to not use it till I can get it fixed. FF to me getting home with a bunch of time and after replacing all the old fans, cleaning out the radiator for the liquid cooling and changing the thermal paste both the BIOS and Open Hardware are still saying I'm running at max temperature, Checking the load I'm only really at 30% max but it still struggles the longer I leave it on to the point that even Chrome freezes up. Am I crazy could the software be wrong or is there anything else I can do to try and cool down my CPU?
Any help is appreciated.
