Hi all
I'm a 3D designer and have recently experienced a few BSODs whilst rendering, the cause of which seems to be the USB 3 drivers (according to the minidumps). However, I have also started to notice that my CPU temps are going through the roof, caught my attention when it hit 85 degrees... now it's hitting 95 degrees under load (45-50 idle)!! I have always aimed to keep the temps below 80 and have only really strayed slightly above this on particularly warm days, so I'm a little concerned that something may have failed on my PC. Setup details are:
i7 2600K professionally overclocked to 4.5GHz (CPU fan seems to max at 1250rpm shouldn't this go higher?)
Asus P8Z86-V Mobo
Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Pro + 120mm Apache Black chassis fan x 2
I've had this PC for over 2 years and never had this problem before. I was inclined to think that the readings were inaccurate, but both CoreTemp and the Asus monitoring software show the same temps. I'm going to lower the overclock in the meantime but would love some help figuring out why this may be occurring? If you'd like any further info please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
