Question Help with CPU temp ?

[Elysia666]

I need some advice.

Ever since COD:BO6 released a patch with a bug that caused system crashes (which has since been fixed), my CPU has been giving me an "Overheating" warning every time I restart my PC.

I've checked everything—I'm running a liquid cooler on my CPU, and as far as I can tell, it's functioning properly. I monitor my temps using Core Temp, and even during gaming, the CPU doesn’t overheat after tweaking my power settings. I switched to the Power Saver plan, adjusted Processor Power Management, and set the "Maximum Processor State" to 97%.

Despite this, the error still pops up. I read that I should check fan speeds in the BIOS, so I did—but I don’t really understand what I’m looking at.

Can someone help me figure this out?

Hey there,

Please list your full PC specs, including PSU, Case, fans and their orientation (or just post a pic).

Your bios is over 4 years old. I'd prob start there to rule out the issue being bios related.

Also, make sure all of your system drivers are up to date, including chipset.

What temps do your CPU hit when gaming or at load?

As stated above, we'll need to know your system's specs. Please list them like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

As for your current state of affairs, you have BIOS updates pending;

flash to the latest version, clear the CMOS and then see if the issue persists.

The cooler is a Corsair. I'm not sure which one, as someone else build my PC that I no longer have contact with.
The Power supply is Corsair RM850
I have 3 fans at the top of the case (XL case) and 3 at the front and one in the back that's part of the liquid cooler.

Is it risky to update the BIOS? Everything else is up-to-date.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Updating the bios rules out all sorts of bugs, stability problems, enhanced memory compatibility among other things. Yes, it's important to keep it updated.

Could be cooler rated.. Have you another you can swap out?

If not consider bringing to local repair shop and getting them to swap coolers ad test. If you are able to take it off yourself, you could try repasting the cooler, as the old paste may have degraded.

As a protection, a motherboard will not start, or at least give a warning if there is no cooler detected.
One way they tell is if the fan header or the pump header is not working.
At startup, it looks like your fan profile graph starts at zero or close to it.
Normally, a fan will not start with less than 5v. Increase your base fan rpm to more than 500 at startup.
The pump should normally always run full out.

As an added complication, this may be managed by a Corsair app.
I am no help for you there.
