CPU Running Hot

[klingesd]

Just finished my build today.
Parts List:
Intel Core i5 8600K 6 Cores
CRYORIG H7 Cooler
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060
NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case

At idle: http://prntscr.com/k2apup
Fortnite running: http://prntscr.com/k2as82

The case is well ventilated for sure, exhaust fans are blowing cool air.

make sure the heat sink is making contact. This happen to me before, a real good way to check is to take it off and see if their is a good spread of thermal paste that came from the cpu. This tells us that the cpu and the heat sink were in contact

Also, make sure you didn't put on too much thermal grease on the CPU!!! Because that happens alot!!!

I have taken it off and on 3 different times. I've watched like 10 videos on how to apply thermal paste and I am 100% applying enough without putting too much. Pea size in the middle.

As i said to the other guy I 100% didnt apply too much. It has to be a setting somewhere in the BIOS... Very unsure.

im pretty sure your motherboard turns off if it gets too hot so keep gaming until that happens otherwise if that doesn't occur it could be reading the wrong temp

Yes it would but I would like to try and avoid that is possible. lol

Also high temp puts wear and tear on the parts quicker so I don't want to replace these parts a year down the road.

Might want to see if MCE (MSI calls it 'Enhanced Turbo') is enabled, which would run all 6 cores at max turbo, and, clearly you do not have much thermal headroom to do so...; disable it , and retest.

I have an Asus motherboard, I will try and will post results.

Asus is famous for 'cheating' with it's MCE-mode enabled by default...

I like it, all cores at max turbo is a simple/minor OC (all 4 cores at max turbo is 'above spec', technically), but, it's only useful if thermal headroom/capacity exists...

here are the results after disbaleing that feature.. .http://prntscr.com/k2bs7u
60 degrees in game rather than 95! lol
thanks for your help!

Good to hear...

SLap in a Noctua (NH-D15 is awesome and quiet!) , and re-enable it at earliest opportunity, the ability to run all cores at max is nice bonus...

Cheers
