Operating System: Windows 7
Motherboard: MSI Z87 MPower SP
CPU: Intel Core i7-4771 @3.5GHz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 760
RAM: 16.0GB
C Drive: 128GB SSD
E Drive: 2TB HDD
After having my computer turned off all night, turning it on and reading the temperatures in the BIOS, the lowest it's able to reach is 77 Celsius. After a moment, it reaches 99 Celsius, and seems to cap at that. I've looked at the cooling system, and it's attached fine. I've dusted it, and made sure the cooling system was making physical contact. Touching the CPU doesn't melt the skin from my fingers, so there's a problem with the BIOS or temperature gauges. I have no idea if I'm even capable of fixing that.
I have an Intel Core i7-4771 CPU (@3.5GHz.) Using CPU-Z, I was able to run a benchmark that showed my CPU multi-threading was running at about 80% of a CPU benchmark that's normally at 2.8GHz.

My BIOS does show an EIST option, but it's disabled. I've tried setting my CPU's minimum clock speed to the maximum clock speed by changing my power options under advanced settings. Setting the processor's power management minimum processor state to 100%, and the same with maximum. All the power options are in favor of performance, but CPU-Z reads my clock multiplier and core speed at lower than their maximum. The range in multiplier is from 8 to 39, because of the overclocking software, but when it's running on startup, it's normally in the 3.5GHz to 3.9GHz range. Running any games that I play will immediately start to lower the core speed and multiplier. I've looked through the BIOS for any temperature-related features or settings, but changing them seems to do nothing favorable. While a game is running, the CPU quickly slows down as much as possible, and won't go over 0.8GHz. While only the start-up programs are running, (minimum,) the CPU runs at nearly max. Enabling EIST slows down my computer, and having it turned off seems to have the reversed intended effect of EIST on the CPU.
Does anyone have any suggestions/comments/ideas on a resolution to these issues? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
