Hi all. I am a complete noob when it comes to working on a pc so bear with me. My computer has been over heating when gaming.
When it first started overheating I cleaned it out it was fine for a few days then started overheating again, so I got a new case fan installed it, ran great for a few days started overheating again. SO then opened it back up and ran it and notice my cpu fan/heatsink fan did not run. So I am assuming that is the issue?
I used Real Temp GT to run a sensor movement test but yeah, don't understand it other then it is bad. I guess my question is is my processor bad or just the cooling? Or something else? I ordered a new fan/heatsink and also thermal paste (nervous about installing it myself) but will that even be worth my effort? Thanks so much for the advice!
