I build this PC about 1 year ago and still a beginner in this. So far there wasn't much issues, however my PC slowed down during gaming last night so much that I quit the game to find out why.
PC then shutdowns by itself.
I powered it back on and it says cpu overheat error.
Went in to bios and saw that is says 102degreesC! So I opened up my rig and put my hand in, it was THAT hot, probably 70 80s.
This morning I pull out my auraflow x240 cooler and reapply thermal paste. Cleaned up the dust of the fans and wipe them all clean.
Powered back on and it still says cpu temperature is 67 to 70 in BIOS. Isn't this a little too high?
I would that think the normal temperature should be around 40 50s at idle.
22 Dec evening
Is this normal?
Appreciate any form of assistance on this!

- PC auto shutdown, probably high temperature trip.
- Checked in BIOS and it says 102 DegC
- Had updated all drivers and flashed latest bios
- Windows updated to latest
- Cleaned PC fans off dust
- Re-applied Thermal Paste
- Checked in Bios and it says 67-70 degC
- Loaded into windows and checked with motherboard Utility tool "AI Suite" and its reading 60 degC
- Tried gaming again and during game it shoots up to 83-84 degC but no shutdown and lags this time.
- Exit game and return to idle mode, temperature remains around 70 degC
