Joking of course, its not actually on fire, I hope.

I have a stock cooler for an AMD Athlon X4 760K

My temps are all over the place, jumping from 60 to 90 while idling. Min temp is 60c and max is 97c. Nothing has been launched other than chrome. No games since startup.

Edit: managed to get 101 Degrees Celsius
I'm really not a tech person, ill drop my specs and as much as i can to help.

8gig Corsair Ram
Nvidia GTX 750ti
AMD Athlon X4 760k
Stock heatsink
3 case fans.
Zalman Z9 Plus case.

(Where I live it is 30c at the moment, but it's been like this for a while).

If you think of anything else information wise you need, let me know. Any help would be appreciated, as im sure 97c temps arent normal, not even for AMD...
 
Solution
AMD stock coolers are complete trash. Consider getting a cooler such as the GAMMAX 300 with is only $15. It will reduce your temperatures by a ton.
