AMd fX-8350 OVERHEATING!!!

[Joey_Stylez]

i'm using amd fx 8350 i'm from india. I got it 2 months ago the temps were fine while gaming like 30-35 degree celcius but now it hits 75-80 degrees. I'm on stock cooler and it worked perfectly fine till now but now suddenly this overheating problem got started

That is a big gap in change. Has anything drastic changed like your environment, new hardware, etc.? It also sounds like the heatsink may not have been seated properly the first time. See if you can take off the heatsink, remove the thermal paste, and apply it again.

No nothing is changed in environment and yes its a new hardware got my gaming pc 2 months back, did some serious gaming with no issues but now this happened out of nowhere. Do you think applying thermal paste will solve the problem?

Yes, go ahead and take off the heatsink, remove the thermal paste from the heatspreader and the heatink, and apply it again. Make sure it seats properly too. Also, make you're not overclocking the proc if you're on stock heatsink.
