Hi,

Grateful if you could please take a look and if possible advise me on why my pc seems to be overheating. I visited a number of repair shops and they confirmed it was a overheating problem but were unable to figure out why this is happening.

Please see attached screenshots of CPUZ,tempature,memory and SPD.

The thermal paste was previously applied by one of the pc repair shops at the end of August and it made my pc work great for about 1 month however it then began overheating again. Should I mabye advise them to look into this and see if the thermal paste needs to be reapplied?

If the repair shop used a poor quality thermal paste, that could be the cause of your overheating, and if they didn't apply the correct amount and disperse it across the chip evenly, that could also be the cause. Because from the looks of it, only part of your CPU was overheating, which indicates that one part of the chip might not have the adequate amount of paste. Or it could be the opposite, where he applied too much and the heatsink isn't in proper contact with the chip.
