My CPU is constantly overheating. I have a cooler that looks kind of like a Hyper 212 EVO Turbo but has no company name or even a model number on it, with a fan on one side of it. The case has good airflow and nice cable management, gets cleaned every month or so and every time it's cleaned the CPU gets new thermal paste, so those definitely aren't an issue. Idle temps are around 45° and 60°, and under load they hit the Tj. Max of 90°, making the system crash (either turn off, hard freeze or rarely restart). It doesn't even take that much to get to a crash: my sister turns on Paladins: COTR and it crashes after 20 seconds in-game, and it's not rare for it to crash because of Chrome!
I really don't know what to do anymore, maybe get water cooling, maybe get a better aftermarket cooler, maybe delid the CPU and put liquid metal in... Since the summer days are coming I most likely won't even be able to turn the damn thing on, so I want to fix this ASAP.
Specs:
AMD FX-8120 (stock)
ATI Radeon HD 4870 Sapphire 1GB (will be upgrading to a 1050Ti if I fix the CPU)
Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 motherboard
8GB DDR3 RAM
