I have a 20inch flat-screen monitor, good keyboard and mouse, and DVD/CD drive. I have an i7 860 with Antec 900 and akasa 967 heatsink. I also have extremely high temperatures with prime. I have a cabinet with 1 fan in the front and one huge fan at the back. Is this causing the issue since there is not enough ventilation? It actually gets that hot the motherboard automatically compensates for the mass amount of heat and drops the 3.8GHz OC 920, to a x7.0 multiplier, (checked with CPU-Z) which finalizes the core speed to 1350MHz and still runs at 91c after that. This happens instantly too, within seconds and the longer prime is ran for, the lower the multiplier becomes and the less load it can withstand. So, can any one tell me how do i resolve Intel Core i7 860 heat issue? Any one has any idea about it? Kindly provide me the correct solution to resolve the above issue. Thanks.
