I recently purchased and installed an Intel Xeon 1231 V3 CPU in a workstation computer with the stock cooler/heatsink, and the CPU is reaching extreme temperature in some cases over 100C (for short periods of time) while under minor load with only slightly lower temperatures while idling. My first thought was an incorrectly installed heatsink or fan, so I removed the stock cooler and the thermal paste and reinstalled the cooler, but am still seeing unusual temperatures. The computer is now routinely idling around 60C even while the CPU is underclocking itself. It is possible that I again failed to correctly install the CPU cooler or the CPU itself, or that the cooler or CPU is defective in some way. The ambient temperature is very low, probably around 10C in a climate controlled lab space.

Any thoughts? The computer is performing well otherwise and is passing Prime95 successfully for as long as I dare run it.
Thanks
