Hey guys!

So recently I build a pc by myself. Everything works great, but the only problem is the temperature while gaming/rendering. It goes around 90 degrees (C) while playing games, and 100+ while rendering in 1080p.
I don't have any graphics card on it, only the processor. I also have the stock cooler and another one mounted on the case.
Here is a picture from TDU2, medium to high settings:

And right here while rendering in Media Encoder, 1080p:

As you can see, the temperature goes over 100 degrees.
So my question is, why my pc isn't warning me about this high temperature?
I searched on other websites about my processor max temperature and it says that the maximum is 73C.
Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you! :)

Okay, by the looks, this sounds like an extreme budget PC (source: "APU"). Obviously your cooler isn't good enough for what you're doing... I suggest you fix that before any permanent damage is done to the processor. Your PC most likely isn't warning you because of a faulty temperature sensor or an AMD software bug (which honestly wouldn't surprise me... it's AMD).
