Overwatch: CPU overheating

[TToyBoxx]

So recently I have been playing Overwatch and my pc's CPU temp goes to about 75C and then shuts down after I play for about a half am hour. If I play other games like League of Legends it works fine but playing Overwatch the fans get going really loud and it starts to overheat. I have re applied thermal paste and tried to do it but still the same problem

What kind of CPU cooler are you using?
If you're using stock, that's your problem right there to be honest, I believe.

What's the CPU, Motherboard, CPU Cooler? What cooling do you have in your case?

My CPU has a stock Fan there is another fan just above my graphics card.
I have a AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-core Processor (3.50 GHz), 4GB ram, but how do I know what kind of motherboard it is?
I just don't understand how it can be happening only on Overwatch.

Because overwatch may be putting much more load on your PC than LoL. LoL just needs a 3 GHz processor, overwatch runs well on a 3 GHz quad-core processor (Phenom II, for instance)

You wouldn't have an overheating problem with a decent CPU cooler, I'm not sure what other explanations I'd have for this.

Something is wrong with contact between your CPU and your heat-sink. If you said you re-applied thermal paste then make sure you tightened things down properly. Use a star pattern to tighten - Not 1-2-3-4.

The max temp for the 6300 is 72'C, but it shouldn't shut off at 75. It sounds like your VRM's might be over-heating. These are the black squares beside your CPU. You need to promote airflow over them on an FX build.

You should download CPU-Z or at least look at what kind of motherboard you have. Open your case. Read model number. Type it in Google.

I would advise you to get a better CPU cooler if possible. The Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 is a nice option.
