So around last November, I purchased a CyberpowerPC off of Amazon. The model I purchased was the Gamer Ultra GUA880 which I know now is discontinued. http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-GUA880-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B0089KDCIU/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482432767&sr=1-2&keywords=CyberpowerPC+Gamer+Ultra+GUA880. It has worked perfectly out of the box for the past year with the only upgrade I made being the graphics card (upgrading to a GTX750ti).
The past week though the computer has been shutting off while playing video games. It would be able to play the games for a few minutes then do a sudden shutdown. I suspected overheating so I dusted off the inside of my case. While doing this I began to notice that the fan above the cpu was spinning much slower then it used to and was taking a while to start up. http://imgur.com/vAJxugJ This is the fan that is having issues. I downloaded a temperature program and recorded the temperatures of the cpu while idling, browsing the web, and playing a video game
Idling : Temp stayed around 30c to 35c with spikes to 45c
Watching a YouTube Video: 40c to 45c with spikes to 55c
Playing a Video Game: 75c to 81c with the temp rising
I believe it is just the cpu overheating as the other fans appear to be working as intended. I ordered some new thermal paste but was wondering if there was anything else I could do to prevent the cpu from overheating,

The CPU is an AMD FX-4300
