For about two years now, my CPU has been acting up and overheating whenever I use it for games such as GTA IV or more demanding ones.
My socket temperatures fluctuate wildly between 57 and over 80 degrees and after 15-30 minutes of demanding gameplay the PC reboots and asks me whether I want too boot into safe mode.
These past two years I've had my PC in the shop to get it checked out, had it cleaned, thermal paste replaced, swapped a motherboard and even replaced my cooler with a liquid-based one (ID Cooling Frostflow X 120 - I know, cheap, but best I could afford). Still no luck, the CPU still overheats.
Anyone knows whether anything else can be done? Is this CPU just doomed? Thanks!

Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus (1 x 200mm front fan, 2x 120mm top fans, 1 x 120mm side fan and the water cooling fan at the rear)
