CPU running at 100 C

[xbitties]

hello, so i play games made by riot (Valorant and League) and my game would be running badly later into those games so i asked riot support for some support, and after awhile he asked me to download HWmonitor and at first my cpu was running at 60 C so the support said it was overheating possibly by it not being cleaned so i cleaned my pc case and reapplied thermal paste, and now the Hwmonitor says my cpu is running at a constant 100 C, i reapplied thermal paste again which led my cpu running at 0,50 ghz when usually runs 3,40 ghz soo i reapplied thermal paste AGAIN for it to work, which made the cpu run at the correct ghz but the cpu is still running at 100 C. help.

How exactly did you reapply the thermal paste?

Disconnected the cooler from the CPU_fan header, took it off the CPU/motherboard, removed the old paste from bot the cooler and the CPU, put a pea-sized blob of paste in the middle of the CPU, put the cooler on top of it, fastened the cooler, plugged the fan cable into CPU_fan?

Seems you blotched something when repasting, like not replugging the fan or such

I would look up a video for re-installing the CPU cooler you have... something is going wrong somewhere

Could you supply some pics of the rig?

if your CPU is overheating, the most likely problem is the CPU fan. If you've wiped off the old paste, applied some new paste and screwed the fan back in then at least we know its making proper contact with the CPU. If you did those steps properly (just double check) then I'd say to check the fan connector. Before doing anything, make sure the CPU fan is actually spinning - you should be able to stop it with your finger and then it starts up again. Actually, just check the fan rpm speed via hwinfo .First, make sure its plugged into CPU_FAN header. Secondly, check if you've plugged it in the right direction (check your motherboard/fan info - on your CPU fan connector there should be either an arrow or a 1. first try plugging the connector in with the 1/arrow on the left and then check temps. if it fails put the arrow/1 on the right and it should work). Also make sure the connector is plugged all the way in. And check any other fans.

 

i'd try that but if you can post your pc specs/model etc we could help you a bit better.

i unscrewed the cpu fan from the cpu, then unplugged the cable from the motherboard wiped the cpu and fan both cleaned, and then put a pea sized blob and then my ghz was very low so i went back inside of the pc and put abit more thermal paste onto the pc and now the ghz is fine but the temp is still high

im pretty sure everything is connected, not sure if theres anything else needed, i just know i have a i7 3770 and a rx 5500xt.

Your cooler has no effect on the speed of the CPU unless temperatures get high enough that the CPU has to throttle down. What were the temps when the "ghz was very low"?

it was also still 100 C, my pc doesnt run games the best because of the specs so i use ultimate performance power plan so idk if that has something to do with it but i doubt it

@xbitties

 

Are you using the Intel OEM cooler? It looks like only 3 of the 4 attachment pins are pushed into the motherboard. To install these coolers correctly you have to push two opposing pins into the motherboard at the same time. If you try to push one pin in at a time, you might not be able to get the 4th pin to seat without needing an extreme amount of force. The cooler might look like it is attached but it is not. That is the typical cause of >100°C temperatures.

 

Here is how to turn off the Windows Virtualization stuff after you get your cooling problem fixed.

Did you clean the cooler? Made sure the fan is working? Other fans also working?

 

Also, once you solve the temperature issues run InSpectre and disable the Spectre and Meltdown mitigations. It will help your CPU performance a bit.

alright i did some testing and its the cpu fan, i pressed harder onto the fan and it went down like 30 degrees so i bought a new fan and its on the way

It is probably not the fan. A fan either spins or it does not spin. 

 

Pressing harder means your heatsink is probably not properly attached to the CPU.

[xbitties]

yeah i know its not the fan but the pins on the fan messed up and the pins dont work so i got a new one but unfortunately its too big for the holes in the motherboard, is there anyway i can make it fit or?
