nathancnc Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 In the bios, the cpu is not downclocking, so its actually running at full speed doing almost nothing. This is because there is no software to control its states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 There is no load tho. So it should not be that hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michwright85 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 So it looks like I mounted the back plate wrong but can't change it till probably Monday as I don't have any thermal paste to apply so will probably update then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
