I am experiencing some really high CPU temperatures (89c)! 3 or 4 months ago it was running just fine, staying in the mid 70c, but now it's got a lot worse, I've bought a new heatsink with screws so it's nicely tight on the CPU heatsink and reapplied a new thermal paste, didn't put too much (dot method).
Yes, the CPU is overclocked using Turbo Boost but that was never the problem for me.
I've ran out of options other than to delid the CPU which seems impractical to me or afford water cooling.
I am just wondering if there's any possible way to improve the temperatures without having to buy stuff.
My PC is well cooled and clean, it has airflow and 4 fans inside.
I also wanna know if it's safe to keep the CPU to nearly 90c since I read that these type of CPUs thermal throttle at 95c.
Not a PC expert but having it close to thermal throttling has a bigger chance to stop functioning completely I think.
