My Asus Rampage V Extreme is getting too hot when I use it with a Corsair H1V2 cooler. After applying some thermal paste, the PC still gets super hot—often above 60 degrees Celsius.

Do we have enough details here? What about the full list of parts? The CPU isn't too hot at 60 degrees Celsius, but it gets very hot at 100 degrees Celsius. A temperature between 85 and 90 is fine, just a little warm to touch.

The computer was overheating so much that the cooling system had to be changed. The new cooling stuff is already installed and I have added it to my list of things done. My motherboard is an Asus Republic of Gamers Rampage V Extreme with an Intel Core i7-5960x CPU. It has a Seagate Barracuda 510 M.2 stick that uses 250GB PCIe G3 x4 NVMe storage and has an EVGA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. I have a Corsair Hydro series H115 RGB Platinum power supply along with an EVGA SuperNova 1300G2 PSU rated at 80+ Gold, which runs on 16GB of RAM (capable of being upgraded to 32 or 64GB). The computer used Windows 7 Ultimate before. I changed the CMOS battery because it was dead. However, now that I am trying to update to Windows 10 Home and clear my partitions after a fresh install, something is wrong with the overclocking settings. When Windows 10 downloads and then tries to reset the PC, it doesn't work properly and locks me out of the OC mode instead.
