on speccy it says my cpu (amd a10 6700) is 90 degrees which doesnt sound good. my other parts are cool though. its worrying me and the pc isnt very old so im not sure about a lot of dust building up but its a possibility. what else could make it so hot? should i stop using my pc until i fix it?

Check and make sure the CPU cooler is making full contact and if it's been a while, replacing the thermal paste never hurts

check the cooler to see if its not making full contact as others suggested. If it always runs at 90 C, I would wait to use your PC until you can get a cheap cooler like a 212 evo.

Most likely it's an issue with the CPU cooler, what CPU cooler do you have?

Thanks. But is there anyway my psu could be affecting it? Because ive heard my psu is pretty bad. Sorry if that question makes no sense, just wondering
