Hello, I'm having a FPS problem for quite a while now. My PC is 4-5 years old but I had no problem with it until some weeks ago. During the past weeks the problem got way worse, to the point I had huge FPS drops even at youtube videos.

I took the time and searched/tried multiple solutions I found online but nothing seemed to work. Then, I remembered that I haven't cleaned the inside of my PC for about a year and proceeded to open the PC box and found a lot of dirt inbetween the coolers as expected. I bought a cleaning airspray of doubtful quality and cleaned the inside pretty well.

I restarted the computer and the speed that it was running was obviously improved. I checked the temperature and it was around 95C which was an improvment from the pre-clean 110C. But I started getting sudden shutdowns and over temperature messages at BIOS which made me curious on what is the average temperature of PC similar to mine.

Now I'm shocked and literally begging for some kind of help. I'm trying to post as much information about my system as i can, because I don't really know what is important and what's not.


CPU TYPE:
Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

CPU SPEED:
2.41 GHz

SYSTEM MEMORY:
4.29 GB

SYSTEM TYPE:
Windows 7 Ulitmate 64bit

VIDEO CARD MODEL:
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

VIDEO CARD MEMORY:
2.41 GB

I'm sorry for my bad english.
If anyone can help me, I will own him/her a lifetime!
Thank you in advance.
 


I can see 3 fans inside the box and all of them are working perfectly as far as i can see.

 


I'm gonna try this as soon as I find where the heatsink is and where to buy thermal paste. 😛
 
Its the big one on your motherboard above the CPU. Maybe a clip at your heatsink broke and dont have complete contact to your CPU. SE happened to me after 8 years of using a old p4, heatet up to 80-90° in idle
