[SOLVED] Cpu goes 99°

[King084]

My pc
I5 2300
Gtx670
When i play fortnit i get cpu temps at 99° 75-88% usage
144fps cap
My gpu bees at 50-60° and like 70% usage

And when playing apex
Cpu at 100% usage and gpu at 100% usage is this a cpu bottlenek

Im also upgrading to a i5 3570 is this good

bottleneck
green is gpu blue is cpu

If the existing cooler [mount] is the problem, we'll see if the same issue exists with a CPU change.

If it's softening pushpins then it'll be fine for a while, until the softened plastic gives a little more. IMO it's a contact pressure issue, the OP stated that they'll use 'Sufficient paste' which is a great big red flag to me, as less is more as far as paste is concerned.

Agreed. Then he'll know he needs a new heatsink/cooler as well.

if you are changing the cpu anyway i would get a 3470 instead,there is not much difference between a 3470 and a 3570,and 3470 right now is around 20$,get an aftermarket cooler for 10$ or so and the 3470 will run around 55C at load,30$ total,price of the 3570

There the same price on Cex store. £23 and also 3570 for future gpu upgrades

King it seems you're set on a solution. I like several others don't think it the right one in this instance but if your mind is made up then fair enough. The one and only thing I'd strongly suggest at this point is when installing your new chip please be sure to install it properly. I do not just mean proper installation of the cooler. I'm talking more about how to clean the new CPU and the underside of your cooler properly then how much paste to actually apply. Novices frequently use far too much paste and do not clean the metal contacts between chip and heat sink correctly.


Buy you're self some 91% IPA to clean your new chip and heatsink before applying any paste and look on youtube for how to properly apply said paste.

Ensure you have removed ALL the old paste from your cooler with 91% IPA (or stronger) before you apply new paste to the new cpu and re-seat the cooler. I can't stress how important that is.

Best of luck to you.
