Is your cooler fan plugged into the “CPU cooler” header? Is that header cofigured for PWM or DC in the BIOS?I just ran the GigaByte control center to check the fan speeds and found that the selector for the fans mode was set to manual, The fan was running at 1200 Hz or so. After asking Gemini I set the fan mode to "normal" but the fan speeds and temperatures didn't change. I suspect it was running in auto mode anyway as no-one had ever selected the mode. It certainly wasn't me who set it to "manual" mode and I think the Gigabyte control center wasn't on the PC when I got it.
I tried the OCCT CPU test but it instantly hit 100 degrees C
That’s an indicator of cooler issues for me. I might understand if the CPU hit 100 occasionally during intense testing, but “instantly?” That’s NOT normal.
