So my CPU is overheating but all my fans are fine and so is my GPU. This is of course causing my computer to run extremly slow and making simple tasks very difficult to complete. The CPU idle's are 55 to 60 degress C but when a launch a game like CS:GO or any moderatly intensive program it's goes to around 100-110 C. The CPU is an Intel I7 3770k at 3.40GhZ (not overclocked) I am running on mostly stock gear on a PC i built myself about 1 year ago. I took off the heatsync to inspect and the thermal paste I had applied does appear to be a little dried up so I am not sure if this is an issue. I searched forums and neve heard of thermal paste drying out.
I'm open to any suggestions/help I can get,
Thanks,
Eanna5
