So, I got my new comp and figured everything was fine, so I didnt bother looking at temps until I tried OCing it.
Idles at 70-80C. Normal settings for 3.6 OC, V core 1.3 (only voltage I changed, tried with 1.2, still same temps), 180X20 (it wont boot with 18X200-voltage failure instantly and goes back to stock, even with 1.375 V core), 8-8-8-24 for ram, turned off power saving functions, set fans full throttle. Turbo off, HT on, and a few other settings adjusted. Haven't even tried running anything at this temp because I'm it might explode.
Even under stock BIOS, it idles around 40 to 60C. Ambient tempature 22C, all fans work. 120mm fan right blowing on CPU cooler, exit fan blowing out right behind cooler, fan blowing in at front. Cyberpower XtremeGear Ultra Triple Heatpipes Cool Copper Heatsink CPU Cooling Fan, which people said they have had good success with. Its not the nicest one, but should be fine for a little OC or standard BIOS settings.
Tried Prime95 on stock and hit temps of 100C in three seconds, MB made all sorts of noise....I freaked, I'm not touching the thing until this is fixed.
I dont want to send this back and would hope I could fix this soon by myself without destroying it any more.
