AMD A8 7600 Running Very Hot

[Endre555]

Hey guys, I bought an AMD A8 7600 a week ago, and I have a problem:it's running very hot.When I just run Windows , it's about 50 Celsius.When I play games like ETS2, GTA,etc., it heats up to 85-92 C (Minecraft on 75-80 C), which is very bad.First I thought that the stock cooler's shitty performance was the problem, but yesterday, I bought a good Cooler Master cooler, and I installed it, and the temperature is not going down.Also, I installed two more case fans, and nope, it doesn't help anything.It's running overclocked from 3.1Ghz to 3.8Ghz, but the motherboard's auto optimalizer is doing it, and I tried to change it to manual, setting it to 3.1Ghz:the BIOS says that it will run on that freq. max, but in Windows, HWtest says that it's still on 3.8Ghz.Anyboby have any idea what can I do to get down the temperature?That would be great.

Have you applied the right amount of thermal paste?

Lose the Overclock, it's not designed for it and will run hot. .2 to .3 is the max you want to O.C before you start dealing with temp issues.

Which Cooler Master cooler did you bought for it?

Is at least a Hyper 212 or better?

Problem solved.HWtest was the problem.Later, I downloaded AIDA64, and it showed an acceptable maximum temperature, while HW was wrong.
