Hello everyone,
I have a Lenovo Legion T530 that originally came with a i3 8100. I've recently replaced the CPU with a new i7 8700. Now, it gets very hot while gaming - it reached 97°C very quickly while playing The Witcher 3 on medium settings and the fan noise got extremely loud. I had no such problems with my old 8100 under the same circumstances. My GPU is the gtx 1660 super, which is more than capable to handle the game. I have also replaced my cooler with the intel stock cooler the CPU came with, but to no avail. I made sure it is seated properly, also tried a different thermal paste (Arctic MX4).
(Idle temperature stays around 35°C, which I believe is normal.)
Do I just need to get a better cooler or is there something else that might be causing the issue?
