I have bought an AMD fx 6300 a few weeks ago with its stock cooler. i have this problem, when ever i play a game (dayz, minecraft) my temperature rise up to atleast 65c. i thought it would be the thermal paste so i bought an artic silver thermal paste and applied some on my cpu. I then ran tests when i first booted up my pc and surprisingly the temperature was 25c but when i opened up google chrome the temperature rose to 40c, temperature while playing a game would still stay at 60c. Is there any way i can fix this problem, could this be a problem with my hardware, any softwares etc? (i'm asking on my friends behalf)
specs:
amd fx300 @3.4ghz
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
1tb wd hdd
230gb seagate hdd
770 evga superclocked 2gddr5
600w semi mod corsair psu
8gb ram

Thanks.
