Hi guys, this is my first post on Tom's Hardware and am not the most experienced with computers! Basically I've noticed my CPU has been running rather heavily; for while i figured it was just the brand, but I downloaded HWMonitor to check my sensors and my CPU temperatures are 70+, reaching 85 while playing less demanding games such as League of Legends. My CPU isn't overclocked, I have tried basic cooling methods such as dusting around the case/fan/CPU, ran the computer without the side panel (to test), all with minimal changes. A close friend of mine has offered to sell me his Corsair H60 for a very reasonable price, as I'm feeling upgrading from a stock HSF should be beneficial regardless, Any suggestions to what I should do? I would idealistically want to be able to run higher demanding games, but one step at a time!
My specs are: CPU: AMD A8 5600K
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 series
RAM: 8GB
