AMD FX-6100 Zambezi on stock. Every game i run the CPU gets to 85°C within 10 minutes. Ran prime95's torture test and it went up to 90°C. I tried replacing the stock CPU fan with a more powerful one, reapplying new thermal paste, and even moving my computer to get more air and nothing has helped. I haven't overclocked or underclocked anything on this computer yet. As a last resort do i need to get water cooling to cool it down?

Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x4GB)
GIGABYTE R9 280X (3GB)
MSI 760GM-P23
