CPU keeps hitting 100

Last response: in Systems
Share

Yesterday morning my CPU was running smoothly not even hitting 10 on both cores.
I saw so much dust and dirt on the case and fans so I decided to clean all fans.

Once I turned PC on later that day, every time I do something or go on a game it seems to lagg and hit 100 on both cores.

Any ideas why

Thermal paste doesnt make a large difference, Not something that would cause massive overheating. Get a Temp monitoring program.

Also remove the cpu heatsink again and replace it (to make sure its on properly)

Lindley010 what are you talking about? No offense but you're advice will destroy alot of procs.

Always make sure you put new thermal paste.

(Thermal paste is the difference between a crashing system and an idle at 28C)
