its not normal, its called thermal throttling

install amd overdrive

it will show you your thermal overheads

the cpu is slowing itself down to not die from overheating

you need to remove the cpu cooler, clean off the old thermal paste, and then reinstall it with new paste

also check to make sure the cpu cooling fans are actually spinning

idle doesnt matter


you using amd overdrive to check thermal overhead while under load right?

Yea 70*c seems pretty high. Im not an expert but I also have a stock fx 8300 (~18*C in idle) which runs @ 3.3Ghz + EVO 212 heatsink and after playing Fallout4 in ultra for about an hour the max temp it got to was 41*c (core temp software results).
