So one of my friends pointed out that maybe my motherboard is sending more voltage than it should. I have an MSI meg godlike and its got this built in overclock dial that was on, but upon closer inspection it only works for the lower end cpus 2700x etc... To elaborate I had it on but the cpu was not boosting to higher than its advertised 4.4 Ghz. So I wonder if it wasn't giving it too much juice and causing the overheat. Thoughts?

IDK what to call it, before I update the bios the cpu was pegged at 4.4 GHZ now its sitting around 4-4.2 unless I hit it with something, temp under full load ar still not right but i'm ont sure what else to try.

soooooo apparently it was a bios issue where the cpu was running max turbo all the time resulting in higher than normal temps...after the update temps seem normal...for now

I had a smaller liquid cooler on before and was having the same problem. At idle currently my cpu is at 59* and my liquid is 29*. Seems like those should be closer together...

So I recently decided to liquid cool my 3900xt and after getting an nzxt kraken73 and installing it. Under any sort of load, even gaming, my cpu jumps right up to 110*. I've remounted it several times, tried chasing air bubbles out of the pump, and applied Kryonaut thermal paste to no avail. Any thoughts?

All my accounts say they are disabled in the forum settings so I can't sign in with them. How to fix?

The ability to spell would be a great place to start.
