FIXED THE TEMP!! So, there was this 3 pin connector on my motherboard that i (AND my dad.) assumed was a chassi_fan connector, although there's no name on the motherboard next to it, nor is it in the manual. When i unplugged my chassi from it, the temps suddenly dropped and im now running at 60degrees max load (CPU fan barely spinning too!) Soo... whoopsie! Edit: All bios settings are being saved now too. Running 1.15 voltage @ 4.2ghz Edit2: Still having some really shitty problems with the motherboard though, still wouldn't recommend it.

I did try and update the BIOS after it failed to boot 3 times in a row. Hard shutdown was the only thing that fixed it. ~~To anyone else wondering about this mobo: Don't fucking buy it. Not even if you're on a budget. Save the money.~~ There are some problems with this mobo, like XMP profiles are broken for many people, including me. If you're looking for a good overclocking board, this is not it.

If i switch to XMP, it allows me to change the core voltage. (It actually changes to 1.075) But if i don't use XMP, it says it's on 1.312 even after putting it on manual: 1.075. I just successfully booted with XMP and 1.075 voltage, but HWmonitor and CPU-Z still reads 1.3(1.4 actually )... I'm thinking this motherboard is just straight up garbage. I booted up with 0.6 voltage manual mode, and im somehow up to 100 degrees celsius. Im thinking this has to be some kind of bug with the bios? Thanks for trying to help, i think im just gonna leave it as is and order a new mobo.

I can't boot at all when using XMP in the bios, which i believe is because this motherboard is a piece of garbage. Other people have this problem too. Without XMP, it automatically defaults to 1.32 voltage. I don't know what to do know

But is it fine to stresstest it when the temperature is way above safe?

What do you mean by unstable? Should i stesstest it every time?

Celsius.

Prime95 gets it to 88~ in half a second, i don't know how to check the voltage in full load though.

MSI's "fan-less" GPU, stops spinning without load to save the hardware life-time.

The motherboard changed the voltage to 1.312 but even after i manually changed it to 1.075 it's still only 5 degrees cooler @ 83-87.

At idle, the spin up to 500 rpm i believe, and at full load they go even faster. Anything i can check with?

6700k doesn't ship with a stock cooler (At least, where i bought it), using a Cooler master 212 evo.

Help. I have tried just about everything i know and i can't figure out what is causing my processor to run at 90 degrees full load. The system is BRAND NEW (3 days.) and i have tried re-seating the heatsink, re-applying thermal paste, updated my bios, changed core voltage, fan speeds to max and underclocked. I have absolutely no clue what's going on and at this point i'm too scared to even start up a damn game. My graphics card runs just fine at 60 idle, 70 full load. Airflow in the case is OK-Good i'd say. Edit: Cooler master 212 evo cooler. 6700k doesn't ship with a stock cooler from where i bought it. Edit: Core voltage 1.075, 40 ratio @ 4.0ghz Edit: I'm thinking the connectivity between the heatsink and processor is shit, but i already tried re-seating and re-applying thermal paste Edit: Probably gonna disassemble everything and re-assemble it later tonight, any ideas before that is greatly appreciated as i don't really want to build it all again.

You guys rock. Hope you guys get a bigger place sometime soon though.
