Hello guys. I was playing Assasins Creed Brotherhood, and I needed to go to the toilet. When I came back, I saw that I were lagging as fak. I then restarted my computer to try to fix it, but it didnt help that much. I just installed RealTemp, and it goes from 45 to 80 celsius. I dont know if I would need a new CPU cause it is having some issues, or what I should do..

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Most likely you should just check the fan and heatsink on your CPU. It may be that you need to either replace the fan, or re-seat the heatsink applying a new layer of thermal paste.

Okay. How long time should there go before I should switch it again?
