Hey guys,
I built my computer about one year ago and recently I've been looking at my CPU temperature while I play video games (Dota 2, Arma II). My normal CPU temp when I'm just browsing Facebook is around 45 degrees Celsius. I live in a hot and very humid country (Singapore). Although when I game I've been noticing that my CPU reaches temperatures as high as 74 degrees. I do not use the cooler that came with the CPU, I bought my own Coolermaster one. I recently sent my computer to computer shop to see if there was anything he could do, he changed the thermal paste and cleaned out the dust. He said it would be an option to buy a new cooler, although I do not want to spend money if it wont solve my problem in the first place. I use AI suite II to see my CPU temperature, here is a screenshot of the temp while im writing this and only have Chrome open. (http://i.imgur.com/TN7Hc9A.png?1)
