Chances are it is a difference in ambient temperature. Even the temperature
of the room will make a difference. I would suggest making sure you have
good airflow within the case. Then check your bios and make sure all the CPU
and case fans are set to high (performance rather than acoustic or silent).
With top end CPUs, especially if they are the higher wattage versions you
are going to get much more heat in the case. I would also make sure the air
can vent from the case properly. E.g. the airflow should run front to back.
If you have two big inlet fans you should have two outlet fans (or similar
sized vents) to balance the whole system. You might want to consider
removing some of the slots covering where PCI cards would go to allow hot
air to vent better.
Good luck,
Ross
