So i just re-applied manhattan thermal paste(silver) but my AMD A10-7700K is still overheating. In idle it's about 61-76 C but while playing it reaches all the way up to 98. Before reapplying the thermal paste it even hot to 110 C, 107 C even while just using chrome. I do have a stock cooler and i already considered getting a new one but i'd first try to see if there is any other way to fix it. I also noticed for the first time in 3 years, that apparently my pre built rig never had an exhaust fan on the back. I only got an intake fan at the front and a free panel on the side. Problem is, i don't know if another fan would fit in the back since there are some cables close to the panel. I also don't know if my front intake fan is properly installed. Do you have any economic suggestion for good fans? I have a gigabyte motherboard with an FM2/FM2+ socket. I'll attach images of my PC, does the fan fit in the back? https://postimg.cc/image/rpowdyghn/ https://postimg.cc/image/srz2whc5n/ https://postimg.cc/image/3ypivvb5n/

You can't. This site will not accept 1st party images, too much risk of infection. You have to use a 3rd party host site and link the images, like imgur or postimages.org

Are you absolutely sure your temps are set for °C and not °F because the cpu should have shut down long before ever reaching 110°C

Yes, I can't think of any tower type case that will not fit a fan in the rear, sometimes it's only an 80mm or 92mm, but there's almost always a vent for one.
