Hi, since thursday i noticed my computer was having a bit of high temperature, going up to 80 to 85c on cpu while playing fortnite, i can feel it because my mouse slowsdown and game stutters a bit, since my pc was quite dirty i hire somebody to do a cleaning on my pc, he previously cleaned my pc and worked great, this time when the pc is back any kind of load my cpu goes crazy, and while playing fortnite is constant 99 degrees, stuttering used to happen a few times before, now is happening constantly, i noticed the heatsink itself is not hot at all, but it seems very well fixed to the motherboard. First i thought it was a sensor error but the performance issue is real, so im a little lost and not understanding what the issue really is, im gonna post a image with all the temperatures and specs from HWMonitor : View: https://imgur.com/e4MgaqH


My pc specs are:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
Motherboard ASUS P8H61-M LX3 R2.0
Processor: Intel Core i5-2400
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (GK104-225) [eVGA
Cooler is stock cooler
8 GB memory

Never did any kind of overclock on any of my devices, but i used MSI Afterburner for awhile to control videocard fanspeed when it started to happen stutterings.

On bios the temperature is 52~54C, while on windows after booting is around 55 to 60, any kind of processing already jumps to 79~80C and any kind of intense processing brings it to 99C
My Video card also reach 80C on load while playing but i dont think thats an issue, my room temperature is not low, quite a hot room because of the roof but still never was like this before, and the weather is not even close to the hottest it already got, i really have no clue on how to fix or where to look for the issue, so i thanks for anybody advice!
 
Hi guys, the computer is fixed, the cooler was with some issues, they fixed and is now correctly mounted, but on the process one of my ram died. I know this is not the right topic to ask but, i had two 4 gb memory and now i need to replace one, if i get the same brand and spec as the other one, on this case a kingston 4 gb ddr3 1333mhz, will it work fine with the other 4gb that still works?

Yeah if its same spec should be fine.
 
thats why i said usually since there are people saying its ok and some not but based on personal experience, i didnt have any success mixing my ram even being the same model if that worked out for me id have 32gb of ram right now, i get a bsod installing my other two 16gb kits xD.

Then you have some issue with your ram settings or the memory isnt all good and working.

There should be no issue putting in the same spec ram in.
