Today i decided do download hwmonitor and i saw something that made me a bit scared. My cpu was idling at 75 C, so i got prime95 to stress it a lil bit so i can see the max temp. It jumped to 100 C as soon as I clicked start. My cpu Amd Athlon x4 750K(stock cooler.). Should i be worried?
BTW: I am using the computer for 3 years and I think that it stayed at 75 C when i first started it.

CPU speed drops when temperature rises. Take radiator/fan off take old thermal compound paste off(plenty videos on youtube) and put fresh paste.
Temperatures might be ok in IDLE(no program running) but really bad in stress.
