Aurora R11, High CPU Voltage 1.4+
i7-10700F / 16GB / RTX 2060 / air cooled / 512 NVMe
Computer has been running hot and loud since purchased. I replaced the top and front fans with a Noctua and Artic which helped most with sound and some cooling but it still runs hot. It seems my voltage is high compared to others.
I checked bios for anything odd, but no settings I can checkor even adjust since overclock in grayed out. I re-installed Command Center a few times and have the newest 1.6 Bios which didn't change anything yesterday. Is this normal or is something amiss? If this is hot is my cpu getting damaged? Video card doesn't get hot, maybe 55C.
I run my computer with max process at 99% (disabled turbo boost) pretty often which makes a huge difference - idles around 29C/32C then gaming up to 70 but it limits performance. Core 2 and Core 3 are always much hotter. Sometimes around 20 degrees hotter. I installed XTU and it says Core 2 & 3 are the *preferred cores. but all the core voltages are go up to 1.49v .
I'm wondering if I should clean install from recovery disk I made, I'm not sure it was like this since purchased as I didn't know what was abnormal for this chip. I have a H60 I was about to install and a VRM heatsink but don't want to void warranty if something is wrong.
any ideas? some screenshots below.

They will get hot because of the air cooling and the limited air flow in these cases.
Without liquid cooling I am pretty sure those temperatures are "normal".

yea the temps from what I saw were around normal for air. I was mostly concerned about the voltage of 1.499 on all the cores with no load on them and didn't want to install the h60 yet. with the h60 and updated fans it should be fine, but the core voltages seem off from videos and saw and others with the seem to be around 1.2volts or so

The voltage is normal, it's adaptive voltage and it will fluctuate. Don't worry about it, cpu has voltage protections it knows it's limits and will shut itself down or throttle if it gets too high

Switch your power plan from "Performance" to "Balanced" The performance mode pegging the cores all the time is completely normal and technically not a problem, though.
