So my CPU recently started running pretty hot (i7-6700k few years old), ended up getting a new PSU and a new CPU cooler, nothings changed. The CPU led turns on and becomes red every now and then under load and I currently do not have the money to replace it. Could it be CPU failure or something else, any help?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it freezes up while gaming and my keyboard and mouse refuse to work for a few minutes.
EDIT 2: I have another guy trying to help me figure out what's going on through discord, so far we found out that my CPU is running at 1.4v instead of its usual 1.25v - 1.3v.
EDIT 3: Fixed my temp issues only thing that's happening now is the red led turning on when i boot, and my keyboard and mouse cutting out
