Hello
I built my gaming pc around 4 years ago. Everything was running absolutely fine, until around one month ago, when it started overheating to crazy levels. I have changed absolutely nothing regarding hardware or software.
On idle my cores are around 50 C – 60C, even as soon as I turn my pc on. Opening steam drives the four core temperatures to around 60C-70C, running any game makes it go to over 90C in a matter of minutes and eventually crashing. Nothing else is overheating. One of the hoses of my corsair h80 cooler feels cold to the touch, and one feels warm (but not too much). The heat-sinker feels cold.
My specs:
processor: intel core i5-4670k
cooler: corsair h80
GPU: Gforce GTX780
Power supplier: corsair RM650
(I have NEVER overclocked)
Solutions tried (that didn’t solve the issue):
Edited regarding the warmth of the hoses.

Solutions tried (that didn’t solve the issue):
- Cleaned everything with compressed air
- Reapplied thermal paste
- Reattached the cooler and the heatsinker
- Checked fans' direction
- Tried laying the pc tower on its side
- cried
