The other day I was streaming as I normally do and my CPU went from 50-60 C to 90-100 for no reason at all. I have had this build since January and haven't had any problems. The CPU has never exceeded 70 C at any given time, not even when I ran it several times in a CPU benchmark back in February. All of the power cables are connected and the Corsair H80i is is running fine. My friend says I have cooked the thermal paste but I was skeptical of that since I would think the temps would gradually grow, rather than instantly if the paste were to cook. Anyone else had this occur or know what has happened?

Thanks in advance.

Well I can only give vague suggestions to the best of my ability.
#Is the H80i pump working?
#Tried reapplying thermal paste?
#Is it overclocked in any way?

1: The pump is working
2: I have not
3: Yes, but it has been overclocked since Day 1 so I don't understand how it would start messing up now.

Okay, will try to. It'll be a bit before I can though as I need to order new thermal paste.
