Hello everyone,
Recently I have installed the CoreTemp and noticed the fact that my CPU temp reaches to 97c while gaming, normally it stays on 45c. That happened when I was playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Metro: Last Light.
2 months passed since I bought a Zotac 650ti boost 2GB, 450w TT lightpower PSU, TT V4 chassis and 4 gigs of ram and upgraded my previous system (i5-2310 with intel Dh61ww, 4gb ram). As I have never built a pc of my own, I took my previous system in the shop and the rig maker did the rest. As far as I noticed, he neither added any thermal paste nor removed the older one above my processor. that time I was ignorant about the importance of thermal paste.
Usually temp here in Bangladesh remains quite high. Today is 26c, 30-33c will be the average temp for us after 20-30 days.
I am suspecting two reasons behind the high temp, not applying new thermal grease and the rig maker might not install the stock cooler perfectly.
In this case what should I do?
1) just remove the old thermal paste and apply a new one? or,
2) buy a Hyper 212 Evo for my processor and also apply new thermal paste?
What do you think?
(Forgive me if you find difficulties in understanding my post because my bad English and I may not explain the problem clearly.)
