Hello I believe that I have a problem with temperatures with my CPU. According to HWMonitor the core temperatures vary between 69C and can go upwards to 75C plus. Now these temperatures I believe cause the CPU to throttle therefore limiting performance. The CPU throttles between 1900MHz and when in the 70C to 75C will throttle to as low as 800MHz.
The cooling system in my PC is the same when I first got it. I have a 80mm fan at the front and a 120mm fan at the back (I do not know the exact specs of them with regards air flow, etc.). The manufacturer had overclocked the CPU from 2.1GHz to 2.6GHz previously but I had put back to stock a month after I first got it. I had brought this PC back in 2011 and obviously replaced a few things that broke such as the graphics card (it used to be AMD Radeon HD 6570 crossfire with 6530D)
If it helps then here are my PC Specifications:
Asus F1A55-M LE Motherboard
AMD A6-3500 Tri Core APU@2100MHz Turbo Core@2400MHz
8GB of DDR3 RAM@1333MHz
AMD Radeon R7 260X
550 Watt CIT PSU
Currently my PC sits underneath my desk and is a dust magnet (I know as I clean every 6 months) and is only like this under load. When I first got my PC the temperatures rarely creeped over 50C nevermind 70C. This is still running the stock cooler and I think it needs a new Heatsink and fan as the one I have makes a werid sound when it first starts up for about a minute I just need someone to confirm that these temperatures are abnormal.
Thanks
