So for the last couple weeks, I've been trying to figure out why my CPU is overheating. After running a benchmark on the CPU (multiple times), I noticed that the CPU was performing in the top 96%!
I checked (and double checked) for overclocking and I am 99% sure it is not. I wiped the drive clean and got fresh install of windows to make sure no software was controlling it. In the bios settings I made sure they were set to" normal". Is there anything else that might be controlling the CPU?

Extra info:
- Benchmark I used was from userbenchmark.com.
- I checked the core voltage, clock speed, etc.. from CPU-Z and HWinfo and both show normal values
