CPU Overheating Problem.

Hi again. I'm back. For those of you who are wondering, this is my post yesterday, about my fans going from silent to loud:

Hi there. I've been noticing something that has been happening to my PC. You see, I cleaned this PC 3 days ago before this happened. What happens is, the fans are spinning very silently (while the computer is on idle, no programs running), and when I open File Explorer or MS Word, it suddenly becomes quite loud, (reaching 4299 RPM, according to HWMonitor). And then it goes to 3110 RPM, and then back to 4000+ RPM. 

 

Another thing I noticed is that the CPU Temperature is actually quite high, reaching 99-100 degrees Celsius. Any problems?

One of you guys told me to re-seat the cooler and apply thermal paste. I managed to get hold of an Arctic Silver 5 (Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound - full name). The first thing that I did when I got home is to crack the case open and apply the thermal paste. I thought that the problem should now be solved. It wasn't solved. Temperatures still spike up to 100 degrees Celsius. Any problems?

Heatsink is clear, fans spinning at stupid speeds, new thermal paste and yet it is still reaching 100 degrees. I have no idea what to recommend but I do have a question or three ----> What have you done differently if this problem wasn't present before you cleaned the PC out, also what is the usage like when the CPU is at 90-100 degrees because I don't think it is the fan, it must be something putting it under huge load otherwise I have no idea what is going on.

 

It can't be the fan because it is spinning really fast and moving a bat shit crazy amount of air while doing it, I'd also look into running a full virus scan, it can't make anything worse.

It may be your case it self restricting airflow to the CPU.

From what I can gather is that it hasn't always done it so I doubt the case is to blame though could be wrong if he has moved it.

Probably. But I think that's impossible because ever since the problem came, I didn't place the side panels back on the case.

The usage when it spikes up to 90-100 degrees Celsius is appalling. There is a delay where if I open File Explorer, it takes about 30 seconds up to a minute just to open it. And I always encounter sudden reboots, probably because of the CPU overheating or something.

Run a virus scan in safe mode, may take a while but leave it to complete.

Fuck well, I don't know. You sure you haven't unplugged anthing by accident

I had a similar problem and it was my case. So I just used that.

As far as my eye can see, all connections are fine, CPU Fan, Case fans, everything.

Nothing happened. It didn't detect a virus or anything else. It's probably because the CPU will decrease its performance or else it will burn or something. I know there's a term for that but I forgot.
