CPU is very hot!

[sambruh_O]

So I just got a new graphics card (AMD RX 580) and my cpu temps just jumped up and now I get around 35-50 when doing normal stuff and up to 90 when playing graphically intense games. I just applied new thermal paste and my system does only have 1 fan plus the cpu fan which is just a fan with I think a copper cooling system but im not fully sure. Whats the most likely reason for the over heating.
SPECS:
i5-2400
12 GB of DDR3 Ram
AMD RX 580 with 8 GB of GDDR5
500W power supply
and a Z77M-D3H-MVP Gigabyte motherboard

Hello
You may need to look into a better cooling system..

500W power supply

What is the brand and model name or number of the PSU.

As advised by Veeg, you need to improve the internal cooling, let us know the brand and model name or number of the case so we can check the specs and let you know what if any case fans you can add.

For you to do;

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

What software are you replying on to give the temps?
Can you provide a snapshot of the innards so we can see the airflow and fans.
