i7-6700K voltages & temp issues

[Zack Brown]

Specs:

 

Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A

CPU: i7-6700K @ 4.00 GHz

Cooler: Corsair Hydro H110i

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz

 

I recently started getting high temps with my setup, idling at around 70C. Ruling out cooling problems, what could the issue be?

 

For some reason the stock voltage was 1.3 something, so i tried setting it to 1.2V but temps stayed the same.

 

I reset CMOS, stock voltage was 1.28V. I lowered it down to 1.2V, instead it rose to 1.3 something and other voltage values were changed for some reason. I tried to change it to 1.2V again, it worked but the other values remained the same (higher than usual). I then changed the other values (such as DRAM Voltage, Standby Voltage, etc) to their standard ones as listed in the BIOS. I got a black screen, so I rebooted and it put me in POST. This time, the core voltage was changed to 1.28V, while all other values remained the same (standard ones that I put). I tried changing it to 1.2V again but I got another black screen.

 

Any ideas to how I could fix this and lower the temps?

have you cleaned out your pc from dust recently? also make sure your cpu cooler is making good contact with the cpu.
