So, I had this computer assembled (by a different guy, hired him) for christmas. I got it, and I was pretty happy. I ran a few games, all ran perfectly fine, no frame drops, nothing.
I ran a few heating tests, however, and during running those games (Primarily PayDay 2) I was hitting 75 degrees C. to 80 degrees C.
Yesterday, I went up to the store, and had the guy reapply the heatsink with some Arctic Silverfox Thermal Paste. He wiped off the old thermal paste using a Q-tip with some rubbing alcohol on it, and then put some thermal paste on, a tiny amount in the middle, and finite amounts of it along the edges. He pressed the heatsink down, and spread the thermal paste, locked the heatsink back in, and sent me on my way.
I get home, run a few more tests, and it's the exact same problem, and I'm worried. I do not want this PC to break.
The processor is an AMD Athlon X4 750k. I have an MSI FM2-A85XA-G43 Motherboard, and an ATI-AMD Radeon R9 200 for graphics. The GPU is running perfectly fine, in fact, it's running cooler than all the other parts. I need advice, and need to know what to do on my CPU. I don't want it frying.
Thank you.
