Hello my fellow beautiful tommers.
I recently accidently let my cpu go up to 99 degrees, I then instantly opened the case and exited all games. Since then my cpu has begun to easily rise to 85-95 degrees under load.
I've come to the conclusion that it has nothing to do with the airflow or cpu fan.
I suspect that either I kinda fried the cpu even though it still fully works, or the thermal paste got bad if something like that is possible. Oh and cpu fan is fairly new, while the cpu being a few years old (i5-2400).
Heres also a pic of the thermal paste, reckon it's enough? It came pre applied and was covering perfectly before removal. There's also a bit remaining on the cpu fan.
Thanks in advance,
Fellow human
