Hey guys, so as of yesterday I've got a problem that I'm fairly concerned about. My CPU seems to be overheating within 10 or less minutes whenever I launch a game. The problem started happening yesterday, but I didn't worry too much about it and just went to bed. Today it's still an issue and I am afraid to do anything intensive on the computer because I don't want to break any components. I've already opened up my case, and checked for dust however the PC is very clean inside, and was cleaned less than a month ago.
My CPU is the I7 3820 3.6Ghz 8GB
I've noticed that according to SpeedFan my Temp1 temperature is idling at 66C, and whenever I turn on a game spikes up to 100+ within minutes.
Temp. according to Speedfan:
GPU: 39C
Temp1: 67C
Temp2: 37C
Temp3: 37C
HD1: 32C
HD0: 33C
HD6: 39C
Core 0: 57C
Core 1: 57C
According to the task manager the CPU usage also spikes all over the place whenever a game is on going from 20% to 100%.
I have no idea what to do in this situation, and would rather not go to a local computer repair shop to have them look at the issue. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advanced guys.
Edit: The games I've tested so far include: DOTA 2, CS:GO, WoW, Heavily Modded Skyrim, and Hearthstone.
All of them except Hearthstone overheat within minutes.
