    CPU overheating?

    Hi all readers!

    Basically there is something wrong with my cpu. A while ago i noticed that my PC started getting slower and louder. I ignored it for a while but i t cannot be ignored anymore since i cant even start a game without my PC borderlining crashing. I installed some programs that let me read my peripherals temps and noticed that my CPU was 90+ degrees celsius and not even with maxium load. My cpu cooler is working fine, i’ve tested it and ive switched Case fans and thermal paste. But here comes the strange part. Sometimes when i start the PC it works totally fine. It is super quiet, works well and CPU doesn’t exceed 50 degrees. If anyone is able to tell me why this only happens so irregularly I would really appreciate it.

        Your cpu is running warm.. Have you checked the cpu fan?

        We also need your complete psu spec’s.

            If it is not the fan then re do your paste. I know you say you did it. But have you done thermal paste before?
            Getting the paste right means a lot.
            Have a read of this and tell me what you think.
            Step 1) Buy a Thermal Paste. I use Arctic Silver Click On Me BUT after watching this best Thermal Click On Me you could try This Click On Me
            Step 2) Remove Power cord and open Computer and touch metal to Earth yourself or Buy this Click On Me
            Static is a big killer of computers.
            Step 3) Remove fan and heat sink Click On Me for Intel OR Click On Me for AMD If not held on like this then could be screwed on or post back with pic.
            Step 4) Clean CPU ( DO NOT REMOVE) and bottom of heat sink using Methylated spirits or Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
            Step 5) Apply Thermal Paste Click On Me to CPU Everyone has a different method.
            The aim is a nice covering Too little = Bad, Too much = Bad (Think Goldilocks and the three bears). Pic attached
            Step 6) Reattach heatsink/fan (after the fan and fins are clean) Click On Me for intel or Click On Me for AMD
            Step 7) Apply Power.
