Well I just thought I would update. I ended up puting in a 120mm fan even though the case doesn't offciailly support it and that seemed to do the trick. What I did is I changed where the hard drive wasa mounted and put a fan where a hard drive would normally be. The reported temps are definitely...

It currently has the latest bios on it and I couldn't find any options pertaining to increasing the TDP. There are actually options available to OC the CPU and adjust voltages, which I have messed with before, but currently it is all stock. I've noticed this behavior for a bit now. Once I did...
