Hello. I recently got a new computer, only to realize that I couldn't livestream as well as I used to with my last one.

The video quality is very bad, so I figured it could be because my CPU was overheating.

I used a program to measure the CPU's temperature and got these results: http://prntscr.com/e8iox0

I don't know much about it so maybe you guys could tell me if it's bad or not.

And if it is, how could I fix it? It is a new PC.
 
Solution
Like Dustybin said, that's clearly a result of the cpu cooler not cooling the cpu. It might not be attached properly, possibly coming loose during transport, and if that's the case, you will want to replace the thermal compound when you re-attach it. It could also be that the fan on the cooler isn't working properly though, so you might check that it's spinning properly and not blocked by stray wires or anything.

On the other side I only see this: http://prntscr.com/e8l7e7
And I have no way to even remove that since the screws are unscrewed from the other side and are covered by the cooler.

Was that easy? That the block should be sealed, as SkyNetRising said that the loop is not mother for disassembly, the only solution now is to replace it. Where do you live?

I don't particularly mind replacing it, but in order to do that first I have to remove this one which is the problem right now.
It was fairly easy, just had to unscrew 4 screws. No water fell on the motherboard.
I live in Spain.

Antec h600 pro, I think, but I've not found anything online either
