I have a FX-6300 and until I reinstalled my OS on a SSD and when I booted up my PC I saw that it was really really hot so I opened core temp and monitored it. My PC now idles at 65-70 C and I havent even tried gaming. I have 2 fans and I know it isnt anything to do with PSU trouble. All the fans are running. I also saw that instead of being at 3.5 ghz it was running at 3.5-3.8 what should I do?
 


Ive only had this CPU for around 6 months are you sure its the thermal paste? it only started after I reinstalled my OS
