Hey guys, i think i have found one of the problems to my crashing, i went to do a memtest over night with my new board in, and went into bios to set boot as usb, as saw temps of 90-raising rapidly to-95, before i turned it off. Now i installed the basic heatsink that comes with intels processors, just as a 'minimal installed onto motherboard theory' so maybe that is why, but i will re-install my antec water cooler, and if i have the same temps, what do i do?
My motherboard is the ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3. Water cooling kits have them sticky pads, and on my old motherboard, i couldnt use these, because they would interact with the metal bits causing my old motherboard to crash. Which is my theory on what is happening to this motherboard, however, with the standard heatsink/Water cooling back bracket with/without the sticky pads, it is still crashing.
Is there any idea on how to fix this? Anyone have a tutorial on youtube on how to install a water cooling kit to this motherboard? If any tutorials/knowledge on how to fix this problem is known, it will be much appreciated, its now been nearly a week trying to fix this xD.
Thanks in advance guys,
Sam
