Overheating

[Liam Meigs]

So I just installed a new msi 970 gaming motherboard and really did thermal paste on my heats ink and dusted out my fans and it gets to 80° it didn't before. and it's a fx-4300

I did twice and I dont get it, This is my first time doing this but I do know how to do it.

Basicly, I have no overclocking and may try re positioning it. but it didn't help last time

Well, what cooler are you using? And what are your temperatures in your home/place-where-computer-is? Also when fans go bad or start dying then you can't really fix them by cleaning them off.

 

Did you go by this for the thermal paste application?

has anything other then your clean up and re apply paste changed, location of the Pc, front or rear fans die or been unpluged, anything at all??
 

check your uefi PWM settings, there could be a few things here that are causing it,

what heatsink are you using, are your fans working properly (do they groan, rattle, click, does the blade spin freely with easy or is kinda stiff ?)

Is the 80c when idle or under load? If its when idle, something is definitely wrong with the heatsink mounting.

yeah check that out, gotta be something wrong there
