Hi, I am experiencing an issue with my CPU. Lately, I have been noticing a severe performance drop on what should be a really good custom PC. I have ran countless tests, changed settings, and even checked the BIOS for stuff. However, nothing has improved. It wasn't until last night that I found out through Throttlestop that my CPU Core is running at around 100 C while idle. Obviously, this would most likely be the cause of such a performance issue, as I should not be able to boil water on my CPU. The CPU is not even a year old and neither is the rest of the computer. I can not figure out how to lower the temp. The heatsink is secured on tightly, and running at fullspeed. Could the heatsink be dying? I don't know, hopefully you guys can give me some insight on how to fix this problem.
Thanks!

No SSD because I could not afford at time and have not looked for one now. Remember that the computer is less than a year old.
Thanks!
