AMD A10 ‑7860K over heating easily

[fLx Em]

I have an A10 -7860k and when ever I play games it would freeze my whole pc. Just clean out the whole pc and put in new thermal paste. The idle temp. right now at around 61C with only google opened.

What thermal paste are you using? I suggest a coolermaster one. It's cheap and good goes for arround 3-5 usd. In terms of cooler I suggest to buy this one in case it doesn't helps with chaning a thermal paste : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Hyper-RR-212E-16PK-R1-Heatpipe/dp/B0068OI7T8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496012196&sr=8-1&keywords=Cooler+Master+HYPER+212+EVO

Remember that fm2+ has the same attachment that am3+ does.

I just replaced it today with Arctic Silver thermal paste and its still the same temp as before

You need to change the cooler. The amd apu's are more likely to get high temperatures. The cooler is a metter of 20 gbp. I suggest either investing in it or changing the cpu with mobo. If your budget is pretty low here are some cheap coolers for fm2+ :

Coolermaster (the best value for money) 20 gbp - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00D4EEEFQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_zRHcwb5JQ31RZ

And hyper 212 again coolermaster (the other options are more than 40 usd , this one is 28 gbp) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Hyper-RR-212E-16PK-R1-Heatpipe/dp/B0068OI7T8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496012196&sr=8-1&keywords=Cooler+Master+HYPER+212+EVO

One more thing , what is your case? We need to see if it will fit

I have a H90 CORSAIR cooler and the case is like this one http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/aGCahpDSTFiysY7whb9T6a.jpg.

What are you using to measure temps? AMD Overdrive is the only program that can give accurate readings of FM2+ chips, and it doesn't give degrees C, but instead shows "thermal margin". With thermal margin, larger numbers are better, because the closer to zero it gets, the closer you are to overheating.

When ever I play games like h1z1 or bo3 if I don't open the case and put a fan on it. It would over heat within minutes.

 

[Ecky]

What happens when it overheats?

Don't use that program. Anything over than AMD's overdrive will give nonsense readings.

Pc freezes and can't do anything have to hard restart pc

This may not be a temperature issue. Your CPU should throttle and get slow when overheating, not crash. What does AMD Overdrive report?

Umm don't have overdrive yet I'll install it and see what it says when it freezes. Should I let it freeze on purpose? Cause I have the case open and have a big fan on it.

Just watch the thermal margin and make sure it doesn't hit zero. Any number greater than zero means it's not a heat issue.
