I just happened to open Core Temp and saw that my CPU temps were INSANE (98-99 C)when playing a simple source engine game, CS:GO. When under 10% load the cores are slightly over 70 C. This isn't normal right?
no that is not normal. make sure your heat sink is properly installed. make sure your cpu is correctly in the socket. make sure you dont put too much thermal compound on (typically a pea size).
Alright thanks for the fast responses. My specs are: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HrHMZL and built it 2 years ago. I'm going to go check the cpu fan and see if the air is hot.
