got the EVGA gaming gtx1060. potential bottleneck?

[Matan_1]

Ijust got the card 2 days ago its a 6gb version and i found out my cpu gets really hot in comparison to what it used to be before when i had r9 280x vapor x and also figured the card is not doing well enough in performance as it have to be idont know what can make it happen ireally need help in spotting the issue here
my system specs-
MB- GIGABYTE b75m d2v
CPU- i7 3770
RAM- 8GB 1333Mhz
PSU-antec 650w gold
HDD-Hitachi 500GB 7200 rpm

cpu runs idle 40-55c max close to 100c
also load gets to 85-95%
is there something im missing that might get me that issue?

thanks in advance for the help

yeah you need to clean your heatsink and get the dust off and reapply thermal paste.
this is way too hot, the good news is tho theres no bottleneck.

i sure need to do it but is there anything else ishould think of before itry that or after that? its just icant do it a at the moment cus ineed a thermal paste...

make sure theres good airflow.
anyways if you're going to buy thermal paste u can maybe buy an aftermarket cooler its 35 dollars+- and u get a great cooler with thermal paste that exceeds intel stock coolers and are way more quiet.

Try applying new thermal paste first as well as dusting out the system. If this does not keep the CPU under 75C under 100% load then you will want to consider getting a aftermarket cooler such as the Cryorig H7.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Thermal Compound: ARCTIC MX4 4g Thermal Paste ($6.84 @ Newegg)
Total: $6.84

MX4 thermal paste can also be used on the GPU to lower the temp a little bit but that card should run fairly cool.

stopped using intel stock fan long time ago im using some kind of a cooler master fan which i think it pretty out dated and a mock of some sort
(best pic of it ifound online)

Get a better CPU cooler. If its throttling then it will be bottlenecking.

Even something cheap like a Hyper 212 will be much cooler and quieter.

will an arctic freezer 11 LP do the work?

it should be better than the stock one, and it comes with thermal paste already applied, so all you would need to do is clean the cpu
