    My CPU is overheating
    « on: April 17, 2017, 07:36:31 PM »
    Spec:
    CPU: fx-8350 8 core
    Graphics card: gtx 970 4gb
    RAM: 8gb
    OS: windows 10
    I have been having a issue with my CPU that started two days ago, it has randomly started to go to temperatures much higher then ever before. (Around 80-90c). Usually it's at high 60s. So I cleaned my computer and removed the thermal compound and applied arctic 5 compound and followed all the steps. I turned on my pc and it is still running hot.





    my CPU voltage is at 1.344-1.356v. When my computer is in bios it has an average temperature of 58c(CPU). However, when my pc fully starts up my CPU overheats to absurd temperatures like 85c. I checked my processed and my CPU usage is on average about 5-15%


    Personally I believe it to be a virus that turns up my voltage on startup. What do you guys think I should do?
