Well today, first time ever, my all of my cpu cores hit 71C. I ran two smarts and it hit that and I got worried. However I did not experience any lag or freezes...
My story, 7 months ago-ish I built my first ever budget computer for gaming. The cpu I got was an AMD Athlon ii x4. At that time my temperatures for my cpu were 36C at idle and 45-50 under load. Anyway I bought a VERY cheap psu, and it burned out everything on my rig. So I returned everything and got replacement items. I built it again, and this time my cpu was at 45C idle and 60 under load. It now has reached 50C idle, and I got that fricking 71C under load. So I bought some thermal compound, yet I see no difference...
Do you think I installed my cpu cooler wrong?
Should I get an aftermarket heatsink/cooler for my cpu?
Should I add that compound again?
My case as I am now noticing it has a lot of dust, do you think thats contributing to the problem?
