I have a problem with my cpu as it heats up when playing old games such as GTA vice city at 85C. I have an I7 4790. I am getting a new cooler but is this normal?

Hello!

Hmm... this is well above "normal" temperatures. I'd start by going into the bios and updating it. Then from there checking the cpu cooler and if it's properly mounted, and has enough non-dried thermal paste (which I doubt is dried by this point unless it's cheap quality).

LMK if that works!
