So its the CPU?

Yes. I'm amazed that thing didn't kill itself. 89 degrees is far too hot. 63 is max safe operating temperature, but you should be below 60 for component longevity.

The temp doesn't go higher than 89ºC in P95. I have the latest sound drivers. I use a Line6 Pod Studio UX2 Audio Interface so I get a message when there's new drivers.
...yea that's not good. The GPU is fine then and the CPU is the problem. 89 degrees is around the safety net of a phenom as they should really not run above 70.

Clean the CPU cooler, re-paste it, and hopefully that should solve the issue.

I have bought Thermal Paste and Thermal Surface Purifier. My dad will help me since he's better at taking out components and stuff like that.

Just out of curiosity what paste did you get ? ( Artic Cooling MX-2 is a common one and i hope you have not got one that requires mixing two compounds as their normally permanent ).. and as for cleaning the surface some Isopropyl 90%+ and some coffee filters would of done.

So I've put on the Thermal Paste and I'm going to see how it goes. Letting the heat spread the thermal paste a little bit.

That should be fine, I have used it from time to time.
Right now it's around 45ºC when watching videos and stuff. I believe that the fan is on the wrong way so the heat goes in the CPU. Couldn't tell which was the wrong or right way.

Cool, typically a fan on a cpu cooler points at the the cooler ( blowing air towards the cooler ) and you can tell by see a sticker in the middle.

I hope you get some good gaming done now :). You may still want to change that PSU when you can for a more trusty brand which you still not told us what it is.

There stickers on both the sides. The temp has gone down from like 80ºC when playing to 50ºC. And the brand is Corsair. Thanks for all the help guys!
