Hothothot!

Just got my computer back from the shop, and I think they screwed something up...maybe gave me a defective heatsink? Because the hardware monitor is reporting that my CPU is running at...on average...

95 FRICKIN DEGREES CELSIUS! ALMOST BOILING POINT!

It even reaches 110 DEGREES CELSIUS before it shuts itself down.

Geez. It was just a simple power supply/motherboard problem at first; they've replaced the power supply as well as the motherboard, but they may have bolted the heatsink inocrrectly. It wasn't like this before.

Unless the BIOS is wrong and is reporting inflated temperatures. Because the case itself doesn't feel hot (unless the chip is too small that I can't feel it).

Le sigh. And I thought I got my rig back. Oh, well.
