something is wrong
you experienced unusual behavior with your computer overheating. after installing two programs that reported cpu temperatures, you placed your machine near a window and let it sit for about two hours. surprisingly, the temperature dropped to around 3°c. then when you turned it back on, the cpu readings jumped to 70°c. this suggests something might be amiss with either your cooling setup or the software monitoring.
First I’d verify the heatsink/fan is properly attached and examine the thermal paste. It could be necessary to swap it out.
I just assembled it with quality thermal paste, and I don’t believe there’s any moisture left from the build. The CPU runs hot, but the GPU stays around 50°C.
It seems you might have misplaced or not secured the cooler correctly.
Sure, I'll look into it. I'm planning to replace the cooler with a water-cooled one soon.
Verify the secure mounting before proceeding. This is the initial action.
