Alright, so I know a decent amount about computers, enough to get by. But I'm absolutely terrible at putting them together and manually messing with the B IOS. I paid someone $50 to put all the parts together for me. The computer turns on and everything. At idle, the CPU runs about 40 C. When I play a game though, I'm consistently at 90-100 C. Here are my specs:
CPU: 10850K 3.6 Ghz (not overclocked at this time)
Video Card: EVGA 3080 FTW2
Motherboard: MSI Unify Z490
Power Supply: Corsair RMX Series 1000 Gold rated
Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB AIO
From what I can tell, everything is installed correctly.
Running 90-100C seems really high if I'm not overclocking. Is this normal for the CPU? I know they run hot. I read that the Z490 motherboards, MSI included, have way too aggressive stock settings and it might be supplying too much voltage on the auto setting and that someone else was able to get their temps down by manually setting their VCORE. I was going to set the VCORE manually to 1.28V. Would this cause issues? And what should the LLC be set to? Auto, or should I pick a specific mode if I do that?
Like I said, I'm a bit in over my head, so sorry if these questions seem silly.
