Ok so my CPU:Core 2 duo e8200 2,66 runs at 80+ degrees while nothing is on (program or game). I did everything.
1.Clean the heatsink
2.Change the thermalpaste (New one is cooler master)
3.Oiled the cpu fan
4.Cleaned EVERY component in the case
And my gpu temperature is always 80+ im using a stock cooler and i didnt have any problems with it for 7 years now. I did check my bios and the fan speed is 2k-2,5k rpm
Please help me.

This cooler is very old; its push-pins might just have lost grip due to deformation of the material. The only way to fix this seems to be to get an aftermarket cooler compatible with Socket 775.

Try checking what frequency the processor is running at if possible. If there is a cooling problem then your processor would be running at a very low speed to cool itself. I cannot think of a software that would tell you, but I do know Windows 8's task manager can.

I vote for aftermarket cooling since everyone I know including myself has had issues with Intel's push-pin HSFs failing to do their job at the 3-4 years mark.

My living room PC has a 212+ on its E8400 and it only reaches 65C core temperature under full-load even with the FAN DISCONNECTED.
