1st - MSI mobo. Ive always prefered ASUS, i know how to use them, i like the AI suite… so not that anything is wrong with it, it was just hard for me to figure out.
2nd Artic Freezer. What a buzz word right now. A lot of hate and a lot of praise. No software, not thrilled by it… but going to still give it a shot.
First boot up while updating windows - hit 97c.
was worried.
Tweak bios to CPU Lite Mode 3 and see what ill call an average of 20c lower temps.
Looking good.
Start downloading and installing Star Citizen. Hits 98.
Very worried again.
Boot game, crashes on main menu from hitting 100c.
Proceed to try all kinds of crap, lowering voltage - blue screen.
Finally… Factory reset, put it back on CPU LITE MODE 3 - TURN OFF INTEL BOOST AND INTEL BOOST MAX 3.0 - Fixed.
14900k - MSI z790 - Artic Freezer 420
This had me worried on so many levels.
