i got a brand new CPU this Christmas and it seems to be overheating? it is the FX 8350 and i have the hyper 212 evo heat sink which is also 2 weeks old.
not overclocking and did not up the voltage 1 bit
i reapplied the thermal paste a second time after seeing these high temp reads and it hasnt changed.
i have the corsair carbide 500r case and have enough airflow that the cpu stays around 30c idle. i also have the msi rx 480 x which isnt overheating... the game i was playing was paladins on low settings ( they were on high but i cranked them down after seeing the high reads)
help? i dont want my new cpu to fry
updates below
Edit*** help, its still reading 78c even after i let the cpu fan at 100%. I have exhuast fans as well. Under load my gpu is reading at 50c so its clearly not my case. I need help asap
