Some advice needed.
The i30 gives idle temps of <25c when gaming it's mid 50's bearing in mind I have an 88w CPU that's overclocked to 4.5ghz with a v-core of 1.255v when running prime 95 I'm getting a power draw of 145.2w and CPU temps of well in excess of 95c with one core topping the 100c mark.
I used the small FFT's for maximum power testing for 30 minutes, had zero fails and dead stable.
Should I try custom instead?
