You mentioned you keep you cooling fans at lower speeds during idle, this COULD actually cause issues if you have any negative pressure in your case or are running hotter in general. Ramp your fans back up to normal speeds and see if this issue persists. At idle, if you're still radiating heat, especially after a load or stress test, and your fans drop back down to their slower speeds, the thermals don't just instantly get better because you're at idle. You might also need to revisit the fan curvature settings in your BIOS.
For all we know, you could have like 9 different issues and we'll just start solving them all one by one!
Hey Dashhh, I always keep my drivers current. I've been experiencing these problems for over two months now. Since I've had my PC for more than two years, airflow issues should have appeared sooner, right?
I relied on the Windows update I deleted, hoping it would fix things before making any other changes.
I used the driver verifier tool, but after following the instructions carefully, Windows kept freezing when loading my account—twice. Eventually, I switched to safe mode and stopped the driver verifier.
