Hey guys,
A bit of advice is needed please. My brothers system that he's been running for nearly a year now has started playing up and is reaching extremely high temps whilst on idle.

After 10 minutes one of the cores hit's 95

He is currently running
I7 2600k (no overclock)
GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (Rev 1.3)
Corsair H100
16GB Corsair Ram.
2x GTX580's (Twin Frozr edition)
He has been using his PC with it running a hell of a lot lower than this for some time and randomly over the past 24 hours when he has turned it on it's reaching these temps.
It can hit 98 not on load.
I can't think what it may be.. the h100 looks fine and doesn't appear to have anything wrong with it. Although I've put it on the third 'fastest/most cool' setting and this doesn't affect the temps.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
