CPU over heat

[Ajhellout]

Everything was fine till last night when i played far cry 5. this morning I switched on my pc and noticed a slight lag in video playback , thn i started to play game and saw consistent lagging in my games. tried playing multiple games. when i checked on speccy and saw my CPU and Motherboard temps are going above 70°C but less thn 80°C.

what might be the problem?
is it the cpu thermal paste or something else?

all other components like GPU , Hard disk , PSU are normal, less thn 40°C.

80'C is perfectly fine for a CPU - albeit a little high, but it should be rated at over 90C (but you haven't given any computer specs.

First check if CPU cooler and other fans speed up with temperature raise.

my specs are
Windows 10 pro 64bit
AMD FX 6300 CPU
Kingston 16GB dual channel DDR3
Asus M5A78L-M LX3 motherboard
Nvidia geforce GTX 1050 Ti
Western digital 1Tb and Seagate 500 Gb storage

Not fine for that CPU but there are 2 temps to be concerned about. Core temp that shouldn't go ovr 62c when it's supposed to throttle and Package temp that may go up to 90c.
Use AMD Overdrive https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4645-amd-overdrive.html to check for right temps.

yes they do. Fan (CPU FAN) make lot of noise too. I have a stock fan. But i dont know if thats the issue coz ive been using it from last 4 months. It was working fine. last night also it was all good.

ohkay let me try.

Temps are shown as margin to 62c, higher number, better it is.

ohkay and hey brother i wana mention , even if i am doing normal stuff like browsing and all.. temps are going till 75 C.

 

[CountMike]

Depends which one you are looking at. As I said, Core or Package ? In any case shouldn't go that high at idle or those kinds of load.

I have uploaded images. I hardly can see any problems. If you can check and tell.

Yes, definitively in red. Check your fan(s) if they are running full speed. CPU cooler original, paste ever changed ?
Temp margin is in minus and that means over 62c.

Nope. I never changed thermal paste. And its the stock fan out of the box so I want to believe that it is original. I will replace the thermal paste and let you know if any difference. thank you brother.

Original thermal compound is some chewing gum like gunk that hardens up, cracks and doesn't transfer heat any more. Be careful when taking cooler off, it can be stuck very hard. If it's stuck, heat it up and twist cooler left and right after releasing hooks or it may pull CPU right out of the socket.
