Whenever I'm on bios the fans raise and so does the CPU Temp. The Cpu voltage varies between 1.040v and 1.056v on BIOS. And when I turn the computer off the fans rush to a climax and then drop dead. When I turn RS on the fans speed back up, and when I turn it off the fans still seem to be going at a pretty fast pace. It also sounds like the fans are varying/pulsing. The CORSAIR logo on the AIO was now Red.Įvery time the fans go max the AIO sounds like is makes a slight slosh/squeege sound. Shut down the computer, and when turning the computer back on the fans kicked back in %100, BIOS showed the CPU overheating error, and when on bios it was showing temps rising to 80C within seconds.

Then after watching some videos I decided to play some games, the instant I turned Runescape on the fans went %100, I obviously thought this wasn't right so I decided to take a look at my motherboard and saw the Red CPU led was on. I turned it off to go take a shower and when I came back and turned it on there were still no issues. Tonight, after a couple of hours being on the computer - watching videos for a bit. The other day I decided to try overclocking my gpu (haven't done research on it) and then decided to turn it off as it seemed to have stopped Battlefield (the issue was resolved immediately after I went to stock setting). I have not had any problems with this computer since building it ~ 6 months ago.
