Idling CPU at 65C, re-place or re-paste?
- by Event_Horizon
Replaced Graphics card because screen would go black at a certain temp while gaming, but sound would stay on (but locked up). Then with replacement card whole PC shuts off during gaming now because the CPU is overheating.
Note: CPU is only supposed to go up to 71C max according to manufacturer and it goes well over upon load.
System Temp: 30C
TL;DR: Idling CPU at 65C, started to shut down due to overheating, re-place (CPU, or CPU and Motherboard) or re-paste?
