Posted March 17, 2017 I built my first low price gaming pc around 2 years ago or so my CPU is an AMD-A10-5800K (if you did not already guess) but it has really high temps and i mean reallly high temps Yes i DO have the stock cooler on for now but 60c in idle/bios and 100c while under load seems a little bit far fetched i have reapplied the thermal paste twice my pc has a good airflow with 4 stock fans(2 intake,2 exhaust) and when i put my fans at top speed (1 stock fan and the cpu cooler) i get little to no diffrence whatsoever the thing is when i change my cpu power consuption from windows it just falls to low temps but also reduces performance any way to cool it down or advice on what to do? i cannot undervolt and i dont want to spend money on a better cooler. these temps are too high and i dont know why, something is not right here. i mean i have heard that people with this cpu are getting 40c on idle and complaining but this is too much im using cam to record temps system specs: SAPPHIRE RX 470 8GB NITRO 120GB SSD CORSAIR CORSAIR VS 450W PSU 500GB HDD 120GB HDD 8GB KINGSTON DDR3 RAM F2A88XM-HD3 GIGABYTE MOBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 17, 2017 Author nah the paste is good i changed it yesterday however a faulty sensor sounds too good to be good and since the temp is faultly recorded at dangerous temps should i ignore it?
