FX 8120 - Overheat

[Sparking]

Hello, I am relatively new (but I am a Linus Follower long time ago), but today is the day I have a problem, that I do not know how to solve it, I have an old FX 8120, with a Cooler Master V8 69.7 on a ASUS M5A99XFX PRO 2.0 Mother Board, recently my cpu is overheat reaching 75° C, when I am playing or Rendering a video, but I am almost sure that does not happened the last week, I changed the thermal paste on January, and until today the problem start, also I dont know why but my CPU on the task manager keeps adding the time of use, although I turn off the computer when I stop using it, in the morning it marked 2 days of usage, I do not know if the problems are related or is a 
Bad BIOS settings (I use the "performance profile in the BIOS), also i want to turn off the USB charge when the pc is off, but as I sayed I have the fear to keep touching the BIOS, or maybe is that the spring is here (you know, more heat) but that sounds a little illogical for me, I hope you can help me, and sorry if I have some grammar mistakes, english is not my Mother language

75 is not an overheat....

Check the thermal paste/replace it. and confirm the temperature with CPUz or openhardwaremonitor

2 things:

1. 75 degrees C is not overheating, my i5 gets up to 80 under load. 

2. It's an old CPU (not to mention that it's an FX), so high load and heat should be expected.

This and maybe clean your cooler.

Also make sure the fans are plugged in and working.

Try cleaning the cooler and re-applying paste, that may help it.

 

Also for those saying that his 8120 isn't overheating, max safe temperature on an 8120 is 62C. FX chips don't like heat.

75C IS an overheat. Each CPU has it's own thermal limits, and measures temperatures in different places. An 8120 is not an i5. Running at 75 constantly will kill the PC. Being old has no consequence; being an FX simply means that 75 is in fact high. There are no across-the-board safe temps, it is necessary to check each model's limits.

 

As @Darkman says, check for proper mounting of the cooler, and if your BIOS settings "change themselves" you may need to replace the motherboard's button-like battery.

this are the Values that HWmonitor show, in this case, I am rendering a project, the values are high? or normal? or maybe the rumors that this motherboard have some troubles with the sensors are true?
