i5 kaby upgrade question.

[ckop11]

My new upgrade.. my temps seem high around 27-31 idle... I did a p95 test for 5 min and the highest I saw was 81... I'm thinking it's when I put the AIO cpu contact on it may not of been perfect.. plus it's the oem nzxt thermal paste on it.. should i reaply some mx4?
Im running 4.5 i5 7600k. Msi gaming mode.

Does msi gaming mode up the volts a lot? Can I fix this by doing my own oc with less volts?? Jw

Thanks!

The MSI auto OC for the 7700k was upping volts to 1.5v so yea I'd say you need to lower. Also just run it stock, you don't need to OC it. You're not gaining anything.
