specs :
i5 2500
gtx 1050
4gb ram

like the title said im getting 90c while gaming in games like heroes and generals.pubg. and dota 2.
case its not mencioned because its not gonna help. its generic .its one of those mid tower office pc.(it has 1 tiny 6cm fan)

the cooler its stock.(already check its not bad mounted). it has a white thermal paste puchased for 1 dolar.but they told that kind of thermal paste was for pemtium computer. dont know

should i buy and test something like a artic o thermaltake thermal paste. or going directly for an aftermath cooler?

So 85C with the side panel open with stock cooler and stock clocks. I would consider getting some Arctic Silver 5 and doing a cooler re installation after properly cleaning off the old paste. With an Intel stock cooler I'd aim to keep things below 80C under load. I'd also dust the case completely and clean the Intel cooler grills.

I'd also invest in some more fans. If you drop 5C with the side panel open then you need to get some more air flow happening in that case. It's not just your CPU at stake, your graphics card and hard drives all have reduced like span when operated at hot temps long term.

After all that if you aren't below 80C then I would get a cheap aftermarket fan such as a Cryorig H7 or a Hyper 212 EVO. These coolers will out perform and be quieter then the stock cooler but if the issue is your thermal paste or your airflow though a new cooler won't help as much.

I doubt you'll get much below 59C, but you will increase noise, i'd say leave it at that.
