[SOLVED] Temperaure of my CPU

[andreghtelmo2]

My CPU temperature is really high at most times when i play games(ig Fortnite) it can go and stay consistently at 100C,I would like to find out if by decreasing my temperature with a new cooler i would have better FPS performance?

Yeah thats not normal, you cooler must not be mounted right, or the fan isnt working.

No. About 10c above ambient is normal.

what model is your cooler?

It doesn't really matter, no cooler would have it sitting at 100C, the only way it can get to there is no contact pressure, or a dead pump on an AIO. An undersized cooler would have high temps, but lower than that.
