... why on earth is this burning so hot - especially with my liquid cooled system?

Idle @ 2.4GHz was ~28-30C...


Itīs bios related as said check with coretemp. if your cores are in the 50s or below there is now chance in hell that your CPU is idling in 60 c. Bios Power "diagnostic" and PC probe are not accurate with some Bios versions.
