About a few days ago i was playing GTA 5 fine with 55C on the cpu, the next day i ran GTA 5 again, and the tempatures went to around 65C which i thought was okay, and then an hour later it ran at 75C and it thermal throttled alot, i saw that the stock cooler fan was pulling max RPM's and i looked at the bios and found nothing strange, exept that OC was on, but that was on the lowest settings, so now i booted the pc up again with max cpu cooler RPM's, and the temps were at 65C~ idle, so I'm wondering if anyone could help out, here's my specs,

CPU: FX-8350 OC: 150 MHZ

MOBO: ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0

COOLING: Multiple normal system fans, CPU: Stock FX Cooler

I hope you could have a solution for me, thanks!

Well, it worked well before and no issues with temps so I'm going to look for the BIOS settings and figure it out

EDIT: Temps went to around 50C idle now after setting most of the settings to auto.
