I recently finished assembling my first PC, collected all the components, and put it together. It didn’t work as expected; I thought the power supply unit was defective. After replacing it, the system started up normally. However, there’s an issue—when I power it on, the CPU overheats rapidly, staying around 90 degrees. Installing Windows without a warning is causing problems. Usually the warning appears about 15 seconds after boot, indicating a quick overheating response. I’ve checked fans and confirmed they were functioning, verified thermal paste application, and ensured there was enough material. Still, I’m puzzled. Anyone have any insights?

Yes, I removed the sticker from the cooler touching the CPU. Please verify your fan configuration in the UEFI settings. Also, let me know the specific CPU model and cooler you are using.

You're running an Intel i5-12400F with the built-in fan.

You're confident the pressure is correct? These components can be challenging—make sure each clip is fully secured on all four sides.

I’ve confirmed everything. Even after removing and rebuilding it multiple times, all sides were secured properly.

The only remaining items are the paste and the cooler. Is the paste applied uniformly? Are the fans operating correctly? If everything seems fine, the temperature sensor on the CPU or motherboard could be faulty and require a return merchandise authorization for repair.
