Recently my computer has been having some issues. I mainly use it for playing League of Legends and watching Streams/Youtube. My load times for league of legends have doubled and I can hardly even watch a video in 1080p, let alone watch it while loading a game.
When watching videos in full screen 1080p my CPU usage runs between 10-30% (which I think is quite high...)
When playing League of Legends on all of the lowest settings I get around 30 FPS during team fights. Less than a month ago I was getting 100+ FPS on much higher settings during team fights.
Another issue I believe I'm having is the temperature my CPU is running at. While typing this post my CPU is running at 70-75 degrees C. When I pull up a video or game I'm running around 95-100 degrees C. I just cleaned out the computer and all the fans to see if that was it but it hasn't helped anything except the idling temperatures. I have a CPU fan along with 4 others. 1 in front, 1 on top, 1 on side and the power supply fan. There is plenty of room for heat to escape also, at least 4 inches on every side of the box.
I've run MalwareBytes numerous times to get rid of any Malware and ran virus scans with ESET to ensure there are no viruses. I also run CCleaner and Defragler just in case but nothing has improved my performance. I'm really not sure why this is happening or what I can do, but I cannot find my copy of Windows 7 for a reformat, and I'm not sure that would solve the problem.
I don't think my CPU should be running this hot and I'm sure that I should be loading games more quickly and getting way better FPS with my current set up:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Processor: i7 960 quad core 3.2 GHz
RAM: 12 gigs
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6800 1GIG running at 775 MHz
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte
System Model: X58A-UD3R
System Type: x64-based PC
Advice? Also, I'm somewhat computer knowledgeable but not a wizard by any means so if I need to get some reports or more information please link me some place that will explain the process.
