Really need some help
Really need some help
Hey guys, hope all of you had an amazing holidays!
I'm kind of a "noob" when it comes to actual hardware , and techy subjects so I thought I'd come here and desperately ask for some help.
I have an Intel i7 10700k @5.0ghz
ROG Maximus Forumla Xii MOBO
ASUS ROG Ryujin 240 RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler 240mm Radiator
CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB 16GB (4 x 8GB) 3200mhz
I noticed right off the bat that my CPU was running hotter than it should, I did a stress test and within 10 seconds it hit 100 degrees Celsius.
After speaking with a couple of my friends they noticed that my voltages were set way too high, currently running at 1.4v-1.5v.
I went into bios, tried lower the voltages down to 1.25v, booted and immediately I blue screened. I went back into bios, raised it to 1.3v, I botted, ran a test and as I hit start, I BS'd.
Now I really don't know what else I am supposed to do, I just turned my PC on and let it "chill" for a bit, went for a smoke came back and noticed the temps jumped pretty high for no reason. You'll see from the image below.

If anyone is able to help me out here it would be greatly appreciated as I'd like this to run as it should, spent a lot of money on this and feel useless not being able to fix the issue. I was reassured by the guy who built it that he put enough thermal paste and he's built me 2 other PC's before all have lasted 4+ years and are still going strong today.
So if anyone is able to help me lower my voltages I'd appreciate it.
Thank you and have a blessed day.
Not every CPU is the same, which is why specifications mention "Up to 5.1GHz". It's like a lottery for silicon.
I experienced similar overheating issues after changing the CPU multiplier to x36, which was intended to maintain a constant clock speed of 3.6ghz. In Auto mode, the CPU would operate at varying frequencies depending on load conditions—lower when idle and higher when under load. It automatically switches to x36 when it detects load. Try adjusting the multiplier in the BIOS settings to determine if this resolves the problem.
Why not simply reset the CMOS and proceed? Also, I want to know how they verified the stability of the overclocking. It seems not every 10700K model can maintain a 5.0GHz frequency.
