Hello everyone,
Few month ago I upgraded my PC to 10700k, Biostar Z490 GT, RTX 3080, MSI MPG 750, Arctic Liquid II 360mm. Firast my PC was in Lian li 011d, but few weeks ago I switched to p600s.
Now at first I was lightly monitoring my temperatures and CPU temps before were arround 85 C at full usage. However there were no problems while using PC so I did not look other temperatures. But, my PC started acting strange a few weeks ago, it started randomly droping CPU clock to 0,8 GHz. Since than I started monitoring all of my temperatures and I noticed that two of my Motherboard sensors(have no idea what they are, I suspect they are VRM and PCH) started showing temperatures of up to 100 C, and thats when throttling starts happening.
I first suspected that my new case has bad airflow, I tried 2 configurations: AIO front intake, 3 12p bionix exhaust and one 140mm that came with the case at the back. In other configuration i switched top and fron fans(put AIO on top). In first configuration CPU temp were up to 85 and GPU was up to 65, while in second configuration CPU and GPU temps got up by 3 degrees. In both configurations motherboard temperatures were same, up to 100 and then throttle of cpu. I also tried opening side panel of case and cpu and motherboard temperatures were same as closed.
Now my question would be what can be cause of this? I learned now that Biostar motherboards have bad VRMs, but can they cause CPU overheating, or maybe vice versa? And what can I do to cool motherboard more efficiently?
I have been using Aida , cinebench and Games for testing. I have been monitoring temperatures with HWinfo and HWmonitor. I have applied, and also reapplied thermal paste, AIO is seated on CPU how it should be, and I have built this PC myself. CPU is not overclocked, I wanted to but my temperatures were too high to begin with so I decided against it.
