Hi guy since 6 month i have my h100i/fx 8320 everything run fine until lately
All my temps are ok execpt when i game
avg temps att 0/5% are around 16/20 degree celcius but when i play little game like League of Legend temps go throught the roof at 60+ annybody can help ?
 
the 16/20 is a lie. AMD chips don't report their temps properly at low loads to most monitoring software. The best way to monitor your temps is AMD overdrive. It gives you a thermal limit, or how close you are to the max temp of your CPU. Your thermal paste may need replacing or your fans may be clogged up or your rad on the cooler clogged up with dust/smoke/pet fur/etc.
 


I understand what you are saying and the only cause of a CPU getting warmer than it was are bad cooling.

Either thermal paste has dried up.
Fans are dirty.
Radiator is clogged up.
Fan settings/pump speed were changed in something.

For some reason it's not cooling as much as the above listed items are the only real things that will cause that.
