Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 9 (Hotter than usual CPU)

[D.Roberts]

HI all been very busy these days.

Just rebuilt my system with a different motherboard Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 9 specs are

Corsair 115 All In One Cooler (x3 140mm fans at front then use the x2 140 mm fans on rad so a lot of air flow PUSH + Pull airflow)

Intel 7700K (No OC)

Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 9

16GB Ram

Asus 1080 GPU

x2 250GB SSD`s

x1 500GB 960 NVME

RM100i PSU

Any who my main concern is in my old system using an Asus Maximus ix Formula motherboard my CPU would NEVER go above 70c under full load idels where in the 28c range.

Now on this new board its idleing around 35c and hits temps of 80c in prime95.
I read that Gigabyte love to use lots of voltage so I updated the BIOS to F9 I think it was...its the latest listed on there web site any way.
And still no luck.

Any ideas I might reapply thermal paste I used Kryonought and used the spreader applicator this time I might stick to my tryed and tested X on the CPU.

But till then any thing else I should do?.

Thanks in advance

P.S

Thank you OCUK for your awesome customer service I shall make a post once my PC is fully up and running.

Hi again all

Well not sure what I am looking for I read that its called MCE on Asus etc but according to what I read Gigabyte have it enabled but dont actualy have it in the BIOS as an option to disable it might be under a different name not sure.

My max Vcore has hit 1.28v a few times acording to CPUID HWMONITOR.

Any help on what settings in the BIOS can bring the CPU back to factory default I DO NOT WANT ANY OVERCLOCK ON CPU

I will enable XMP to get max speed out of my RAM but for now want to get the CPU to what it should be at.

Thanks all
