I have a AMD FX 6300 and Radeon 7790 DirectCU II 2GB
When i was playing Borderlands 2 today it started going crazy. My fan speed was at 80%
What are the normal CPU and GPU temperatures while gaming...For example playing Skyrim.
I need to know whether i'm overheating and if so how to fix it.

More about : loud possibly overheating

Well, it depends on your cooler whether you have high temperatures or not. With a good cooler, the CPU will reach approximately 60 degrees max while on 100% load. But monitor your temperatures both idle and load and write them down here so we could come to a conclusion. Overheating is only fixable with a better cooler or reapplying cooling paste (If the components are intact)

I also have another problem with green dots appearing in games where shadows are...like the outline of the shadows have little green dots around them and No it isnt my monitor

It's a heat problem I could say right away actually. Check your temperatures while in game and tell me. Download HWmonitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

GPU Idle: 31C
CPU Idle: 30C
GPU Gaming:48C
CPU:30C <---wtf is the program not working?
This was during Skyrim. Me climbing the mountain to reach the Greybeards...Ill need to do more testing probably...also this "overheating" happened in Borderlands 2 when i was talking to someone...no action or anything. Then my screen started flashing random colors and glitching out and No it wasn't a Game Glitch.

Which cooler do you have? The stock or a aftermarket?

Stock cooler...if you could find me an AMD Fan that would fit into a NZXT 210 Source case along with a good brand of thermal paste that would be amazing. Also I have 1 built in 120mm fan that came with the NZXT Case
