[SOLVED] My PC seems slower today?

[DanielIreland]

(Sorry if this is the wrong section)

Hello, i bought a PC Summer 2016, prebuilt Lenovo gamingstation.

Since then i have upgraded the PSU to a 650W from a 350W.

Upgraded my 970 4GB GTX to a 2060 6GB GTX.

The specs are:
CPU: i7 4790 3.60GHz (8CPU)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 2060 6GB
128*? GB SSD (38GB left)
2TB HDD (772GB left)
PSU 650W
WINDOWS 10

So I know the CPU isnt brand new, but it isnt bad.

My issue is that the computer feels slower, sounds more and tends to get up 78-80c when I use it for games.
Restart is slow these days, some programs feels slower.

How can I make it feel fresh again? Is there any tools? Do i do a factory reset?
Or is it just the CPU that needs to be switched? Cooling paste?


Thankful for any help!

78-80C is a bit on the high side.
I would try to get it down.
You could repaste the cooler.
You could go into the BIOS and play with the fan curve.
You could run with the case open and see if that helps.
The package spec for Tcase is 72.72 C max according to this.

Although I am aware that the program that you are using may not be measuring Tcase....I still think 78-80 would be worth trying to lower.
