Hi,
Finally put my old i5 sandybridge system out to pasture upgraded to some RGB goodness. But i've had some issues along the way and wondered if someone could help
Specs
Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7
I7 8700k
16gb Trident Z 3200 cl16
Inno3d 1080ti
EK A240g
Antec 850w semi modular PSU
Fractal Design R6
First weird thing i've had is GPU temperature spikes, would often rocket up to 90 degrees, the backplate would be red hot to touch. I though this might be due to air trapped but i finally tracked it down to having hwmonitor and msi afterburner open at the same time. If i don't touch hwmonitor the card performs perfectly and sits at 51 degrees. Has anyone else experienced this weirdness?
Secondly and the main reason im here is CPU temps, if I select multi core enhancement my CPU temps hit around 95 and some cores increase to 100, Prime will eventually crash after 5 minutes or so. When selecting CPU upgrade to 5ghz, prime crashes the very second it starts. After some investigation i've noticed i setup the cpu block incorrectly with the inlet/outlet ports(first time building a semi custom loop but so much fun!).
Would this misconfiguration cause such high temperatures?
Also the board seems to auto set voltage to 1.4v, but droops like a boss down to 1.3ish under load. I've tried setting 1.3v in bios with extreme LLC, i get very little droop but temps are still insane. I've also tried reseating the cpu block with no luck.

Thanks for your time and help in advance
