As you can see, my cpu is extremely hot, i've confirmed the temp is BIOS as well.
I noticed a few days ago my computer couldnt handle my games very well (pubg, csgo, fortnite) as in dropping frames, average fps is significantly lower than usual, long loading screens or the game not rendering at all.
So I downloaded core temp and saw my computer is very hot and im not sure what the problem is, cleaned out the whole computer for dust, checked all my fans, cleaned the heatsink and since I couldnt get any thermal paste I read somewhere you could use toothpaste which I did, and it sort of worked because the temp was only at approx. 75 degrees at boot and my usual games worked fine for about 10 minutes, but later on when I tried to start up some games the same problems started happening.
atm im checking for viruses, but could the problem simply be that my cpu is old or theres some sort of malfunction? Or should I try to get some actual thermal paste?
This is probably a hard read but I'm so fustrated right now lol, thanks for any replies
