I recently noticed that my CPU is getting high temperatur (speccy, HWmonitor, bios)
idle: 60-70c (speccy, HWmonitor)
loaded (e.g. playing dota 2): 90-100c (speccy, HWmonitor)
at BIOS i got 92c temp.
I'm using the stock hsf of AMD, maybe the thermal paste is dry? I really haven't check it yet.
And one thing I noticed, the temp issue started when i changed my PSU to a branded one.
The branded PSU obviously has big fan (120mm) facing bottom (as for my setup
because my case supports top mounted PSU) which is directly above the CPU HSF,
so i might be thinking that the psu is getting the air the should be going to the HSF.
is it a possibility?
btw, here are the solution i came up with
buying a new HSF, maybe the CM hyper 212x
and buying a new case that supports bottom mounted psu.
But if my suspicions were right? maybe i'll just buy the case and a thermal paste/compound.
I just need an opinion of a computer expert/technician.
thanks guys. sorry for the long post.
