Question How do I underclock my i5 3570K?

[rscheetah30]

My motherboard is a Bluecase BMBH61-S and it's got its overclocking option locked out.

So what are my options since my cpu is running way too hot!

Any help appreciated!

get a better cooler, change the thermal paste, get more case fan

What is "way too hot"?

You could start by disabling turbo boost.

over 100 degrees celcius under load while gaming.

Wow, ok yeah that's hot. I'm kinda surprised that's possible, I would have expected it to throttle/shut off before getting that hot. What are you using to monitor temperature?

As said above, could repaste the cooler and/or get a new one. Simply cleaning your current heatsink and fans could help too.
