Hi there! i recently wen't to checkup on compability between my motherboard and a new chip, i might be getting because of my really outdated cpu.
The cpu temps were completely fine, but i saw my Socket temps were sidding steady at 96-100 degrees. The computer is 5 years+, and last time i took off my cpu cooler, i saw that the thermal paste was dried out? Could that be what's causing it to run so hot?
I used speccy to do the checkup. And how reliable is speccy in terms of monitoring temperatures?
CPU: i5-6600 skylake 14mm technology
