I seem to be receiving high temperatures with the AMD FX-8150 Black Edition cooler to the point that I had to actually turn the CPU's 3.6 GHz down to 3.3 GHz as 3.6 GHz was sitting at 60c+ temps even with the Cooler on maximum. I'm not sure as to why this would happen so suddenly.
Under load while for instance, Battlefield 4 game play it reaches Tj. Max in which it will shut down the computer.
Any recommendations as to how to fix this problem or any troubleshooting that we could possibly work through to figure out what's causing the problem?
