Asrock motherboards higher temp?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I recently decided to change my Asus Z370-p prime to get a better overclock. First I went with the Taichi but wasn?�t impressed with the performance for the price. Also noticed that my temps around 5-10 degrees higher than in the Asus board. So I decided to exchange it for the k6 Fatal1ty, but the CPU temps are still much higher than the Asus board..

I don?�t understand how this is possible? I?�ve reapplied the thermal paste and remounted the cooler several times. Added more intake fans without success. 

Right now I?�m at 4.8ghz with 1.29v and PUBG is running at 76 degrees Celsius with a noctua nh-d15 at almost max rpm. It never exceeded 70 on my old board with the same voltage. 

Any insight would be much appreciated!

	Updated my bios and reverted back to stock settings. My temp dropped 31 degrees Celsius... so now I?�m at 45 degrees. Though voltage is much lower now, there must be something else I?�m missing. Might have fiddled with a setting that I shouldn?�t when I overclocked. Or something is messed up with the fan curve.
