Hi!
I've owned and used an i5-3570 for 3 years now (I think) and have used a Kuhler h20 620 to cool it. All has been well up until last night where, after doing quite a few heavy CPU tasks (Rendering in C4D & Sony Vegas, editing in AE and playing League of Legends) and noticing my game was lagging, I restarted my PC and when it launched again, it said the CPU was too hot and hit 173 degrees. Turns out I had the fans on my rad backwards (pulling on the outside of the rad (touching my case) which meant it was pulling the hot air from my PC outside of the case) and had every fan pushing air.. oops.
Now while running a Minecraft server, listening to Spotify and playing Minecraft, I'm hitting 80ish degrees at <50% load. This can't be right. Did the extreme temperatures (which never shut my PC off but let it keep running) ruin the thermal paste or something like that?
I'd be more than willing to give any other information needed. Thanks,
Jared.
