APU overheating

[aaawew]

If the heatsink is not hot, it can mean that the heatsink is not properly mounted. Take it off, clean both the CPU and heatsink, then apply a peas sized dot of MX-4 and mount the heatsink. 

if that does not help, you either have a faulty CPU or the temperature sensor is inaccurate.

I bought an NH-D14 a while ago, its pretty cheap and its an AMAZING fan, buy one and your problems are solved.

Honestly, he shouldn't have to buy another cooler just to keep this thing cool at stock settings. Stock coolers are designed to keep the CPU cool at stock settings and slightly above(turbo). If reseating doesn't work, just send it back and get a replacement.

You can also try using HWinfo for temperature monitoring of your APU.

Change your 120mm to an Exhaust and not to an Intake

should i underclock it

Never overclock with a stock cooler. Anything apart from a stock cooler will be fine to overclock with

He said underclock. Not overclock.

I know but if its running at that temp without some sort of overclocking then there is something wrong, most of the time 100c isn't something you should be seeing without some sort of overclock,
