My computer started running very choppy all of a sudden and so I went through the motions to figure out the problem, and when I got to checking temperatures I noticed my cpu is idle at 80c - 100c on each core. I have no idea how long it has been doing this as I just replaced the cpu, cooler, motherboard, and gpu around July, but I do know that the computer performance getting worse is a recent development. I am wondering what could potentially cause this, is it my cpu cooler, or maybe the headers on the motherboard? Or could it be that I need to reseat the cooler on the cpu? Judging by the heat the pump housing is picking up i don't know if that is necessarily the case but any ideas are welcome at this point as I don't want to continue running my pc until the problem is solved.
