So my computer is running really hot not only in bios but even hotter when totally idle. In bios my computer is at a flat 50c and idle can be anywhere between 60 to 80c. When gaming it passes 100 regularly. I've seen these processors work wonders and I have heard that these processors specifically used really cheap thermal compound behind the heat spreader giving this processor some pretty warm temps. In terms of troubleshooting I've tried 3 different coolers including 2 different Corsair water coolers and a Thermaltake heatsink all installed with new and 2 different types of thermal paste. I've built around 15 new computers before and never had any issues like this with the processor over heating(meaning I've checked to insure the coolers are properly attached and can confirm that the cooler is not the issue with my experience). Finally I've reset to default several times and even tryed the eco mode on my motherboard in it's bios to see if the lower voltage would help it with no change. I feel like I've tried everything with this processor and believe that I got especially unlucky with this processor(I bought it new btw) and my only option left is to either delid it or replace it. I just want to know if i missed anything or if there may be other causes like a bad motherboard causing it. Thoughts?Capture.PNG.31a38365f9e1b919e601700e914c0546.PNG

Temps in the pic seems fine.

What case do you have? Case airflow matters too.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Those temps are idle with nothing running, jumping to 80 at any point(note the maximum after only a 14 second record period). Case is a corsair 570x with 7 total fans.

What are the BIOS settings? Some mobos default to MCE on with excessive voltage...
