Question CPU overheating at start of games ?

[W1ck3rm4n]

Hello everyone,
My CPU goes from 55 degrees to 75 as the game is loading and then drops back to normal.
It has only just started doing this though, I can't think of what has changed other than a Windows update and an Nvidia driver installation.

75c is not overheating, not even close to it.

The CPU fan is going mental. Do you have any idea why this is happening all of a sudden? Should I be worried?

Stock coolers by Intel for LGA1700 are not only bad, but completely TERRIBLE. I advise you get a newer cooler, like the Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120 SE, or the Deepcool AK620, these CPU coolers support Intel LGA1700 and are perfect for your needs!

It's not exactly a good cooler.
Get yourself a decent tower style cooler.

Some games may be doing shader compilations at the beginning of the game.
Those are very taxing on cpu and can spike temperatures fast.

And I think some games are CPU intensive so that could mean temps are getting higher by playing

Thanks everyone, I will install a new cooler.
