Are this Temps wayy too HOT ?
Check if these temperatures are typical for your air cooler setup. If not, identify possible causes such as thermal paste issues or other components affecting performance. This was with an MSI z270 SLI PLUS, i7 7700k, and Coolermaster MasterAir pro 4 (2 fans). I've applied thermal paste multiple times but haven't seen significant improvement. The Artic MX4 paste helped the lowest temps. A different cooler produced higher readings. Please advise if you need further assistance. Thank you!
Return to the default setting, then turn north and south bridge to assess the temperature after adjusting the settings. Verify the readings; if they increase, adjust the board to compensate and lower the voltage from the CPU to maintain optimal performance and higher speed.
your fan operates at maximum speed of 1800 rpm, which should be sufficient for 2000 rpm as indicated in the specifications. since you mentioned two fans, it appears they are designed to push air in similar directions rather than opposing each other, and the system also displays the current airflow count and direction.

your fan is operating at maximum speed of 1800 rpm and should be capable of reaching 2000 rpm as the specifications indicate. Since you mentioned two fans, it seems they are pushing air in the same manner rather than one against the other trying to reverse the back one. I also noticed another fan displaying the current system capacity and the direction of airflow. Both CPU fans are functioning similarly—Push/Pull setup. I have five case fans running, with two pulling at the front, two pushing out at the top, and one pushing out from the back, all of the same size. They were set to 2000 rpm, and temperatures remain consistent across all programs. However, in BIOS settings, they consistently show high readings in the 40s to 50s despite the actual idle temps being around 3x°.
In addition, consider shifting one of the upper fans to the lower part of the case if feasible. The air escaping more quickly than entering forms a vacuum. Establishing a positive pressure zone can aid in preventing dust buildup, though it may reduce cooling effects.
The unusual situation is that at stock the Mobo runs the i7 at 1.265v during load, so I adjusted it manually and achieved 4.8 at 1.240v, but temperatures remain extremely high under load. I'm unsure if it's the chip or my board being inefficient. Even when playing CSGO for 15 minutes, temperatures reach 86-89.
Return to default settings, then touch the north and south bridges to sense the temperature after adjusting the configurations. Verify the readings; if they increase, adjust the board to compensate and lower the voltage from the CPU to maintain optimal performance and higher speed.
