While using the internet/watching YouTube my CPU temp stays at about 40-48°C
While gaming it shoots up to the high 80's-90's°C Why is this? I've made sure to re secure the mount at least 7 times now and each time i fully cleaned off and reapplied thermal paste
All my other components are running at 25°C or below
