A couple of days ago I opened a game like I always do and I got really low fps. I thought it was weird and tested League of Legends, and got like 40 fps. After investigating a bit I've noticed that my gpu usage was low, between 25 and 65%. After a few minutes I've noticed that my cpu was really hot, 100°C without even playing, just chrome opened.
Can this overheat cause de low usage of the gpu? And would buying a new cooler and thermal paste help?
Notes: I've had this cpu since 2014 and never bought a new cooler for it besides the default one.
