Yes look into this.
Just about any aftermarket cooler, would be better then the stock Intel cooler.

If your case and motherboard permits.
Perhaps you can purchase and install an aftermarket CPU cooler/heatsink.
A very popular one is the Hyper 212 EVO by Cooler Master.

Your temps seem to be on par, with the stock Intel cooler/heatsink installed.

If I'm not mistaken, TJ MAX for most Intel processors is near 98C.
Tj max stands for Tjunction Max,...

I agree, that high static pressure fans are best,
for use with water cooling systems.
As well as with any AIO liquid cooling solution.

Those are pretty good readings,
considering the ambient temperature your space it at.
My setup, usually runs anywhere for 4-8 degrees Celsius above ambient when idle.
I'd say you're temps are...

I would look for more ways of checking the mobo's temps,
to see if they all give the same report.
If so, could be faulty mobo temp sensors, because at that temp your system should have shut down to...

You did say that in your BIOS also reported the same high temps, didn't you?
If your BIOS is reporting this temperature,
you have to assume it's correct, or perhaps you have faulty mobo temp...

Excellent temps.
:thumbsup:

That's about the range of temps, which AMDMan2016's machine should be near or close too.

Sorry to hear that.
I hope you RMA goes smoothly.
I would recommend watching a few videos by CareyHolzman.He has a YouTube channel which help "real people" build their own computers.
It's a shame...

I think that's the best move you could have made.
For your safety and the safety of the other components. I won't power this system on, until something is done about this.
Speccy is reading the...

I think that you my have a mobo temp issue.
A temp of 118 °c for a modern mobo, even at heavy load is quite high.
Are you running some kind of OC (overclock)?

I would ramp-up the fan speed, add...

Speccy doesn't always give the correct temps.
You might want to look into running Open Hardware Monitor,
or CPU-Z.

Yes, I read the same thing about the F20 bios.
However...
The intel core i7-6700k is a 6th generation processor.

I hear ya.
Good mobo for the money.

I built this latest machine back in January, haven't flashed the bios yet for the same reason.
I was also running the same CUP you're running now, until I...

That's not bad temps.

One question,
I have the same motherboard and was wondering if you flashed the bios to F20 or F21?
I'm still using F6 .

I've use HWM a while ago, just didn't get around to picking it up.
Here's what Open Hardware Monitor has to say about my temps.
The ambient temp is a little cooler now then before.

The mobo was installed in January 2017.
I've yet to see it go over 28°C.
Matter of fact,
it's always at 28°C.
:huh:
Maybe that will change,
when summer arrives and the ambient temperatures...
