What games are you playing whilst the CPU is at 100%. And at what res?

TBH, In my eyes, that's a perfectly fine build. You could pick up a 7700K if you really wanted to. That would be a fairly sensible move IMO since you could sell off your I5 and upgrade for not a lot of cash dollah

well it was happening a fair bit with destiny 2 and just now I had been have trouble for about an hour, I had youtube open and two osbuddy clients open and it just locked up... a hard reset had resolved that issue.

@ 1440p

I have thought about the 7700k , should I not be concerned with the whole intel problem?

ermmm... never noticed this before and the problems I am not having only started in the past couple of hours... what running perfect this morning plus that 127 degrees doesnt seem to move at all

TURNS OUT CORSAIR LINK SUCKS

Download HWInfo64 or something similar and check CPU and motherboard temps in there. Also check temps in BIOS. Even if your 6600k was running at 100% load, you shouldn't be having those issues so a CPU upgrade might not necessarily solve your problems.

That said, a used 6700k or 7700k would be my suggestion for a CPU upgrade. If your motherboard is bad I'm sure you'd be able to get a replacement. If not, and you need to buy a new mobo anyway, then Coffee Lake or Ryzen 2 would be a good shout IMO.

Thanks

something must be wrong with corsair link as HWInfo showed nothing of the sorts but it did show me that malwarebytes is destorying my memory.

How would I be able to tell if I need a new board seeing as it could be that causing my problem.. possibly kinda new to all this pc stuff and this is my first hiccup

If HWInfo and your BIOS are displaying reasonable temps, then it'll be fine. Just a bad reading in the Corsair program. Keep an eye on RAM utilisation, CPU and GPU utilisation/clock speed and temperatures under load and try to recreate the issue.

well I managed too about 20 mintues ago but wasn't watching anything.

Will try again and have a look#

Thanks for the help

You shouldn't have to worry about that mobo temp. I know of a few programs that get that temp wrong, I use speccy and currently it's saying my motherboard is at 115 Celsius. Best place to check would be in your bios.

I recommend doing a clean install of Windows 10. This should remove any unnecessary background programs like malwarebytes and whatever else might be running on the system. From there you can see if it is just your workload or something is wrong with your hardware.
