So a few days ago i was just curious to how my PC was doing temperature wise. i had been playing GTA V for around 2-3 hours continuous every day without any problem but when i saw the temps, they were 60°C on idle and 90°C on load. i replaced my thermal paste and even bought a new CPU Cooler, Temps remained same. Can it be that temp sensors are bad? I touched the heatsink and is is getting warm so yes there is heat transfer from the cpu to the cooler.

before tell someone changing a dell case/setup, (which can easily become a nightmare for a number of reasons and mostly bercause Dell uses a lot of "dell connectors only on their cases... that aside for a moment;

Note if CPU was at 90'c while gaming you must be experiencing throttling causing fps drop ie one moment 110, then 50, then 30 then 70

What program are you using to measure your cpu/gpu temperatures?
if not HWINFO, I would start buy downloading HWINFO from: https://www.hwinfo.com/ and run it in sensor mode and play your game again and see where the temps max readings are set at after you play.

If your sensors are correct then it probably means your case's airflow is bad and you need a new case (or more fans in your case if you have a good case).

Also what is your CPU, CPU Cooler and case?

That case is not going to have very good airflow, so i'd recommend getting a new case.

Here is a good cheap case that has good airflow (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractal-Design-Focus-Computer-Window/dp/B06XQ5JSRR/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1521291020&sr=8-7&keywords=fractal+design)

If you wish to go for a more expensive case here is one that i really recommend (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractal-Design-Meshify-Tempered-Computer/dp/B074DQVB97/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521291069&sr=8-1&keywords=fractal+design).

The Paladin has made a really nice point. it would be a nightmare to disconnect everything from that case and put it into a new case. I will try HWINFO btw. Also i am already thinking to build a new PC in the beginning of June. till then i just wanted to make sure that this one doesn't die on me so even i i could change the casing, it would not be wise to change the casing.
