Hey everyone,

I've been having issues with my PC lately and I'm starting to think it's my processor. I started it up today and it's running virtually fine, performance-wise. But I'm still hesitant to say it's 'fixed'

I took a look at my temperatures after playing a game of SMITE and the CPU is looking pretty hot! TMPIN2 69 degrees celsius...

So here's question: I believe my CPU is overheating and causing my computer to freeze. Do you think I need to reapply thermal paste?

Maybe you have general thoughts. Leave everything below. Thanks!

Looks normal but it is not normal if no applications are open.

Just try to clean things up inside the PC might have dust lingering it can reduce heat also.

For the performance, try defragging and check for disk errors.
