NF7 2.0 - Sudden shutdowns

Hi!
I have recently bought this model. I thought everything will be fine but...
The problem is that my pc is suddenly shuts down when processor is
overhating - I think it happens when cpu reaches about 68-70C.
And this happens wheter the processor is overclocked or not.
Also BIOS settings are correct I think (in soft menu: cpu overheat
protection - is set to 90C, pc health: CPU shutdown temperature - disabled,
cpu warning temp. - 90C, shutdown when cpufan fail - disabled).
Where is the problem? Is there (or was) someone who had similar problems
with this mobo?
Thanks in advance for your help

Somebody suggested that the vcore was a little too high for some CPU.
Slightly lowering this voltage (like from 1.5 to 1.475) seem to be a cure.
If you try it, let us know if it was helpful.

Alas, it didn't help. I chceked again and found that computer shutdowns at
about 65C. There is no difference between processor with default settings
(1,5 V core and 1466 mhz) and with any other overclocked settings (ie. 1667
mhz @ 1,70V) - it always turns off after reaching this "critical"
temperature. People HELP ME !

If the heat sink feels like it's getting to 65 (burns your fingers
when you touch it) then use a better heatsink. If the heat sink feels
like it's not getting to 65 (just hot to the touch) then check how
well the heatsink is seated on the cpu.
