Hi there, I recently built a computer and I've been having some serious heating problems with my CPU. My CPU idles at 50-60C and when playing games goes up to 89-92C. When doing benchmarking on the Intel Extreme Tuning utility, my temps hit 100C with a score of 2544 Marks. This is with attempts to undervolt, with the attached image showing my specific settings in the Extreme Tuning utility. To pre-empt some possible solutions, as far as I know, the thermal paste application was fine and the CPU fan is on tight, though I exhaust other potential solutions, I will check again. My full specs list are as follows:
CPU - i5-11400F
Motherboard - ASUS Prime B560-PLUS LGA1200
GPU - Radeon RX 6600 XT
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-L9i chromax.Black
Case - Zalman S2 ATX Mid Tower
PSU - EVGA Supernova 750 GT
Don't hesitate to ask for more information. I really want to solve this issue because until it's solved, I don't really feel safe using the computer to play games.
