Specs :
- AMD Athlon 860K 3.7ghz (Coolermaster TX3 Evo)
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G 2GB
- 120GB SSD
- 250GB HDD
- 500W PSU
Okay so in july I bought the parts for my first ever PC Build and as i was on a budget I bought a AMD Chipset I also bought an aftermarket cooler as people said the AMD coolers were rubbish so I purchased the Coolermaster TX3 evo. Fast Forward to a couple weeks ago I bought GTA on pc and long story short I found out that my CPU was causing a bottleneck so I decided to Overclock the CPU so i followed a youtube tutorial and it went wrong my pc crashed when it booted in to windows to i went back into the bios and hit the reset tab hoping it would all go back to normal and it did however i started noticing the temps were not back to normal and they were skyrocketing at idle it was anywhere from 60C-80C and then I played fallout and noticed the temps were well over 90C when i was gaming. Here is a list of things i have tried to get the temps down
1) Re-apply thermal paste
2) Added a New and better case fan
3) Cable Managed to provide better airflow in the case
What can I do to get the temps down to a normal level is there anything that could have went wrong in the bios when I had my failed attempt to overclock I only changed the setting that said Clock speed and then changed it back as soon as it went wrong also Can i get my fan on my cooler to run faster? Please help I really dont want my first PC to die so early
