Hey all,
I just updated my bios for the first time since July of 2017. The reason being was because I never got around to OC my ram, which is rated for 3200 since there were plenty of problems in that regard. I have had my 1700x overclocked to 3.9 @ 1.35V since I first built my PC and now since I updated the bios, returned my CPU oc as it had been and overclocked my ram to 3200, I'm getting higher temps on my CPU. I used to get idle temps of 18-21c and it never exceeded 45c when gaming. Now, my idle temps are 35c-45c and 65c is the highest it has reached when gaming. Does anyone have any idea why this is so? I have looked over my bios settings and they are exactly the same before I updated, except for the ram of course.
I'm not trying to be too anal about the temps, just trying to make sure they are in a safe range for long term.
The temp also seems to jump around quite a bit even on idle, causing my fans to ramp up then back down.
