This is how the thermal paste looks and i have tightened both the mount and the heat sink as hard as i could. Yet the temps are still out of control. I think i will just have to clock it to 1.35v and 4ghz where it is some what stable

Okay definitely will give it a try. Thanks for your advice!

I just checked the tightness of my cpu cooler screws and they are pretty tight imo, so I believe it shouldn't be a contact problem.

I believe so, I reinstalled the cpu cooler like a couple weeks ago. Is there like any way that i could tell if I am not making good contact with my cpu?

Hi all, first time posting here! I built my first rig more than a month ago, but there has being some weird issues going on with my cpu boosting to super high speed and using voltage that seem way to high to be normal. Its definitely not my cpu cooler though I am using a big after market cooler afterall. The idle temps were around 45-55 or so. Hwinfo was also showing that the cpu was fed 1.4v to all cores and up constantly while idling. Down volting would just destabilize the machine and would fail a aida64 fpu burn test within minutes. This is me running everything on AUTO. I have double checked in bios that everything was set to auto and no overclocking is done. My rig is using : NZXT h500i with 2 140mm intake and 2 exhaust fans rog strix x470 gaming-f r5 2600x with nh-d15s corsair vengeance rgb pro rog strix 2070 I do live in singapore where the room temperature can be pretty high, but i usually have my air conditioner on at about 25 Celsius. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
