Intel i5-4670K
I've had my pc for around 3-4 years and have had no problems with my cpu. A couple days ago my games started to slow down for no apparent reason until they were a mess at which point i closed them. I haven't changed anything apart from my graphics card after the problem started occring. I checked my cpu temp when idle and ingame and these were the results
idle: 70C - 3-9% load
ingame(csgo) - up to 100C - 50-70% load
I don't know what my idle temp was before the problem because i didn't really need to.

Now for the easier part - clean the CPU heatsink from dust and replace thermal paste. Clean everything else within the case as well. A can of compressed air should do the trick (take the rig outside, unless you wish to create a simulation of thermonuclear blast, dust will be everywhere).
