Hi there,
I recently upgraded my PC. I got several new parts including a new CPU (Intel Core i7 7700). I've notice that it runs higher than what I ever saw with my Intel Core I5 9400F. With some games such as AC Valhalla, it runs steady at about 90 - 95 degrees, sometimes getting up to 100 degrees celcius. It seems to idle between 35 - 40 degrees.
When playing a games like Anno 1800, it runs between 70 - 80 degrees.
I installed the CPU myself. my cooler is the stock cooler than came with my I5, and it is less than 2 years old. I've double checked that the cooler is on correctly, it has made contact and is not loose. I removed the old thermal paste and added my own of course. I applied it in 5 dots, with the larger one being in the middle.
I do not know why it is running so high. Would anyone be able to tell me?
