i7-3700 temperature going till 100 C each core when CPU temperature shows 30 C

[Patrakshar_D_Intel]

Hi,

I have DX77GA-70K board with i7-3700 Processor. It is almost 2 year old and was working fine till last week. Not sure what triggered it but the machine got shutdown multiple times with BSOD and after doing some troubleshooting i found that the issue is with Processor temperature.

I figured out the processor is taking till 100C per core.

I had Corsair H 60 cooling fixed on it. There was never a need to change to any fan settings from BIOS since it was working fine with default configuration.

I then used the default Processor fan that comes inside the Box and for a day it was fine. But after two days again the same problem started.

I am bit confused from above output. Core temperature is the one that is going till 100 C when CPU temperature stays below 40. Can someone suggest how to deal with this issue? The last major change I did is updating BIOS to latest available version.

After checking the processor temperature I see it is running under normal specifications.

The maximum temperature is 70C and according to the pictures, CPUID and Speedfan are reporting 31C.If you were having heat issues, the computer will run unstable and shutting itself down with no warnings.Updating the BIOS (done) and applying new thermal solution would be good start.If you still think you are running high temperatures, please try the following information:http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005776.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005776.htmlAllan.

Were you able to follow recommendations about processor overheating?
