Get a aftermarket cooler and thermal compound. AIO water cooling, air cooling, doesn't matter, as long as it's a big cooler with preferably two fans. Thermaltake, Noctua, Cryorig, look for something big and get the Arctic Silver Mx5 thermal paste.
CPU overheating or bad PSU. Do you have any aftermarket coolers and which PSU do you have?
Running dota on highest possible settings, i get 60-80 fps, cpu is at 70-80C abt 50-60% load. the max it got to was 88 but only for a few seconds. it crashed after 30 min into the game. is it overheating ? and gpu is at 60C-65C at 20-30% load
UPDATE : So i ran stability test for 1 min on amd overdrive and same problem. so it definitely is cpu overheating.
what fix do u suggest??
