Usually, my i7 runs around 60-68 celsius. But when i stream games like Skyrim, one of my cores (core 1) gets to around 75 celsius. I began to worry as i've been constantly searching and seeing people's temps don't go above 65 (well the average comparison of most people's words on other threads). My question is - is it my cooling or do i have a faulty CPU? Also, no overclocking done.
The conclusions i've come up with, but i need a second opinion is that it maybe be due to the thermal paste (as because my friend did the line method, but glopped a tiny bit more than he wanted). However, my friend built my computer and i'm trying to avoid taking everything out (noctua fan and all). I wouldn't know how to put it back on. :/
Room temp may also be a cause. Its 69 degrees in California and i have no AC. However, when making that assumption, i also have a GPU that does not go above 33 celsius full load. So then thats what got me questioning the CPU itself.
Does anyone have any advice, tips, or feedback for me? This has been bothering me. The more i ignore it, the more i think about it.
Here's also the real-time results (i've been stressing it for around 10 minutes now):
