Recently I've looked up my cpu temps because I was just curious and realized that only under 40% load it was running at 100 degrees Celsius with a intel stock cooler according to nzxt's cam. It was that high when I was playing games and when I stopped playing it would go down to about 40 degrees and I've been using it for a couple of months now and was wondering if I should buy a aftermarket cooler or if there was a way to lower the cpu temps without buying a aftermarket cooler?
