Hello I used the small sachet of thermal paste which came with the cooler and we put on more than a rice amount which is usual. The cpu cooler may not be on correctly but would this make it go to 100 degrees when in gameWhat kind of thermal paste are you using?
If your temps are instantly jumping that high then it's very likely that the CPU cooler is not seated properly. What temps do you see if you go from all off and cold to the BIOS? Another question is, how much thermal paste are you using? Too little is going to cause problems. Too much is less likely to cause problems.

Okay thanks for that. I will try get some new thermal paste. Also do you mean by making sure it’s on right meaning all screws are tight or the cooler square is acutely on the cpu itself. I will try both of these thanks a lot for the help.
thanks so much for the support I’m going to try all of this. If you was wondering my pc was pre built I have had no experience in building a pc before.
The CPU cooler is not installed properly.So I have tried all of this replaced the cpu cooler again with new thermal paste and it had made it worse it is now 85 degrees when idle and when I load bios it says cpu temp too high error.
85C at idle is not normal.How tho I don’t see how it can’t be on I have taken it off and on 3 times and it has not worked it is on tight with the thermal paste I don’t see how it can’t be on with the screws
Putting it on, and putting it on correctly are not necessarily the same thing.Yes but I don’t understand why that’s why I’m trying to get help
Yeah ik man but I just don’t know what’s wrongPutting it on, and putting it on correctly are not necessarily the same thing.
You're the only one with hands and eyes on the situation.
