CPU Overheating

[crazytechkid]

Help my I5-6500 is reaching 100 degrees celcius i am using the heatsink that came in the box. i took it off and saw the thermal compound was black. I replaced it with my own compound and it still overheats

Overclocked much?  Have you tried backing down on the oc to see if the temps drop and the system becomes stable?

I doubt a locked chip usng a stock heatsink will be overclocked.

 

Sounds more like something isn't properly mounted.

What programs are running when it hits 100?  Mining?  Rendering?  Gaming?

Holy shit, what kind of pressure are you putting on that CPU?
