When gaming it hits 90C (speccy). When Idle it sits around 44 C (speccy). On bios is said 46 C avg last I checked.

How do I fix this (without getting an aftermarket)?

yes sir .. mine is about 4 months old and I game daily and I just check it and the idle temp was 14.7 lol.. Make sure your heatsink is clean and fan is working properly


I run the A8 and my idle temps are anywhere from 14c - 17c .. underload gets about 27-40c ... Is your heatsink clean? Fan working?
