My CPU is overheating

Solution
CAM is wrong, it would likely be dead if it was actually hitting 116c.

It does look to be throttling a bit however, if CAM is right about clock speed. It should go to 3.9ghz under load. If afterburner is correct 67c, is warm for that CPU. The cause could be your cooler is not mounted properly, not enough or very poor quality thermal paste, VCORE voltage is too high, not enough case ariflow, dust the cpu coolers heatsink,etc.

I dusted the case the fan is spinning nicely and and the cooler is mounted properly.

the cpu is clocked at 3.9GHz and i dont know about the VCORE voltage since i used the stock preset for it
and MSI is right about the temp and not CAM i checked with hwinfo and both were showing the same temps

Yeah, I figured lol. Your temps would be really high without that. I meant a case fan. 62c isn't even bad. Its probably even better than avg under load. Depending on the cpu I would say dont really worry unless you are breaking 80c.
