so i recently bought a new gpu, motherboard and powersupply. when i first start up the pc the fans go crazy fast and then stop when the pc has finished booting up. when i launch a game my fans go crazy and my cpu temp goes to 100c. i dont want to ruin my cpuso im not going to play any for now. any help ?
 
Solution
If your heatsink fan is working, then likely not refreshing the paste is the cause, or the heatsink is not mounted correctly. Redoing it will eliminate that being a possibility, and likely fix the problem.
