Hi i have an AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor that is running really hot. I first had a cooler master evo 212 but it was running hot so I thought that it was not enough cooling so I saved up and got a Kraken x61. Even though I got a good water cooler it was still running hot at 60-75c. My computer keeps freezing up and crashing. I have removed thermal past and reapplied it. I am not overclocking my cpu.

Also in my experience, less intricate boards tend to survive much longer than the ones with more feature. Meaning, only 2 slot for RAM sticks and only one PCI Express slot. Use this depiction to determine your next board of your own choosing.
Its not your CPU. Quite possibly its your board. I've seen it happens for fourth times in my daily experience.

Due to the nature of your CPU, many boards just couldn't handle the heat stress and voltage stress over an extended period of time.

In fact, I've seen it worse. Going 90C for no reason while at BIOS. I swap the board to some barebone option and everything normal. 4 times.

What board do you think i should get i am judging my skills on being able to chose the right parts
