Hello,


My computer recently started to get extremely hot when playing Fallout 4, I stopped playing it due to how bad it was overheating my computer. My specs meet the requirements for the game as well. I started to play CSGO, that would never overheat my computer and as I start playing my computer is extremely hot.

I cleaned out my heat sink and all the fans, and they are all running fine while the PC is on.
I also have all my drivers.

Specs
----------------------
Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P34
Processor: AMD FX-6300 3.5 ghz
RAM: 8GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon R7 200

I'll look up some tutorials on what to do. What thermal paste should I use and is there anything else I need to do to stop the overheating?

There is not a huge difference between the brands of thermal paste. Just don't get the cheapest.
This should fix it.
