The issue stems from the motherboard's CPU temperature sensor displaying a false reading of 100°C even though the CPU isn't that hot. Check the sensor's accuracy and ensure it's properly connected. If the problem persists, verify the cooling system or consider reseating components.

Check if the CPU is overheating or if the motherboard's VRM is overheating.

Might be a concentrated area on the CPU heat spreader that isn’t performing well. This hotspot will show increased temperatures beyond what you perceive. Give it some re-thermal paste!

You’re aware the sensor isn’t picking up the thermal data correctly. The goal is to make the PC utilize CPU turbo boost.

The fans run nonstop. I suspect the motherboard is the issue—I had the same problem with my old CPU, so I changed it. I thought the CPU was the cause but now it seems different. My question: can we enable Turbo Boost even when temperatures are extremely high?

Have you ever managed to fit a CPU in before? Which heatsink do you own and did you apply thermal paste? Was the amount sufficient? If your heatsink features four push pins for mounting, it’s possible you’re only securing three. This often occurs when you insert them one by one. Doing so can lead to extremely high temperatures. For a design with this layout, try placing two pins at a time, moving diagonally across the board. If issues persist, remove the motherboard and inspect the backside. Ensure the heatsink is firmly connected at all four points. Without proper attachment, your CPU will throttle constantly around 800 MHz. Use HWiNFO to check which cores are limiting performance. It’s uncommon for Intel retail CPUs to have faulty temperature sensors. Getting a CPU installed correctly isn’t unusual.
