I just recently upgraded my pc, but I ran into a problem, my processor seems to be overheating when I play games or use something like prime95. I'm using the stock heatsink and the thermal pad that came with it, at idle my temps are 38-40c and at load it goes up to 65-70c it might even go higher than that, but I never let it. The only thing I can think of that might be wrong is the heatsink or thermal pad, I don't think it's the airflow in the case because everything else's temp is normal. I'm thinking about buying a new heatsink and AC5, but I'd like to see if I can get my temps lower with what I have now. I would assume my processor shouldn't heat up this much just for simply getting into a game and playing for a short amount of time.
Also, I don't know if I pulled the latch down on the heatsink, if I didn't would this affect my temps? The heatsink feels firmly attached, but the latch may not be pulled down.
Another weird thing is that when my pc goes into sleep mode or when it turns off the display(don't know which one it is) my temps go up to 55c.
