Hi all,
So for a while now my system was running CS:GO really badly for it's specs (~70-100fps).
I've only now go around to checking it out and noticed that my CPU was running really hot. With an average of around ~80-90 Celsius under VERY minimal load. Playing CS i get to 100 degrees. I was using the stock intel cooler.
I pulled out the CoolerMaster Hyper Tx3 from my brothers computer and stuck it in mine. I get slightly lower temps (75c no load) but still about 100c playing CS.
Note: I did put fresh thermal paste on before testing any of these.
SPECS:
CPU - Intel Xeon e3 1230v3
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970
MOBO - Asus B85M-F
Thanks for the help!
