CPU Overheating

[Rask]

Hello people !

So, a friend of the family built me this computer a few years ago, and has been working extremely well in all games I've ever played (CS:GO, WoW, GW2, LoL, DotA2) You know, the normal stuff.

But now, it won't really run anything.
I get idle temperatures on about 50 degrees celsius, as soon as i start a game up (For this example I'm using the game Evolve on medium setting) Even just in the pre-game menues I'm reaching around 80 degrees celsium and in-game playing I can get all the way up to 90 if not more.
The CPU fan is running around 3000 RPM at that point, and I have never heard my machine make that much noise before.
Today I've taken the stock heatsink off and cleaned it out and applied new thermal compound from Coolermaster, but without that much effect.

 

Specs are:
CPU: QuadCore Intel Core i7-2600k

CPU Cooler: Stock

RAM: 4x  Kingston HyperX 4GB

Motherboard: Intel Burrage DP67BG

GPU: Asus GTX560 Ti

Power Supply: Antec TruePower 750

Case: Corsair 600T

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

 

Any help is much appriciated !

You might want a new cooler.

New thermal paste maybe? It sounds like the contact between the CPU and heatsink isn't too great. 

*EDIT* 

Just saw you tried that... 

you familiar with delidding?

A 212 evo will be a lot better then stock. Make sure to pick up some Thermal Paste too. Remember, rice size dot 

part of the problem is the stock cooler

Never heard of it, no.

But will that for sure solve the problem ?

Because the weird thing is that I have been gaming on this PC for 2-3 years now and played all these games without a problem before now.

I have literally never worried or heard anything about my CPU overheating before the Intel application started giving me warning a few days ago.

You can't delid Sandy Bridge CPUs. The IHS are soldered to the CPU die, and don't use TIM like Ivy Bridge and beyond.

De-lidding is cool. Not recommended. Try just an aftermarket cooler first.

I didn't know that... Thanks!
