CPU becomes hot following the installation of a new motherboard
Your ROG STRIX B360 is overheating because the CPU is generating too much heat. The high temperature of around 89°C suggests the cooling system isn't performing well or there may be an issue with airflow, dust buildup, or thermal paste degradation. Check the fan speeds, clean dust from vents, and ensure proper ventilation.
What kind of workload are you applying to the CPU? Are you testing its limits or just using it normally? If it's regular operation, start by inspecting the thermal paste—remove the cooler and verify the paste is uniformly applied. Should everything appear correct, proceed to the BIOS settings to investigate potential issues. During a stress test, 89C isn't uncommon in cheaper or standard coolers. This could indicate either you're avoiding excessive strain on the system or you're seeking improved cooling performance.
The setup doesn't function this way; the motherboard provides power limited by the CPU's demand. It doesn't force additional energy onto the CPU. Issues may stem from improper thermal paste use, incorrect cooler installation, or insufficient mounting pressure.
It seems you're asking about fixing a problem with the wood. Could you clarify what issue you're facing?
Check the motherboard's manual for CPU management settings. Unless you own the specific board, adjustments are likely less extreme. If it’s set too aggressively, there should be a way to revert it. The "restore defaults" feature is probably what you’re looking for.
