I just recently noticed that my x4 860k has exremely high temps. even when idle. The idle temperature is ~95C. I'm using a stock heat sink in my PC. Running on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
Anybody with an answer to this issue would be very much appreciated. My performance has been lacking and I assume this is the cause of the issues. Thanks!

I believe my issue is the thermal compound. I am reapplying it today.
