Usually when cpu overheats the pc shuts down. What is the max temperature that your cpu reaches?

So when you restart the game without restarting the pc does it work correctly?

what's the fan situation? what kind of heatsink?

>>80620
I've never had it shutdown the whole PC, but the issue is that something is slowing down the computer when I use it for a while and I think it's the CPU that's causing it
>>80623
You'll have to forgive me because I'm not great with describing the stuff I've got. There's an inbuilt fan on the GPU and CPU, and two fans over the motherboard and back of the PC itself.

It woukdn't take two hours to heat up. It woukd take like a minute or less than that. Im thinkin it's am issue with the game, video drivers or some other glitch.

>>80629
It happens no matter what I'm playing. Overwatch, Stardew Valley, Dota 2, GTA V or XCOM 2. It will always happen.

Have you updated video card drivers? I suppose it could be your video card overheating. What are your fans spinning at? Get faster ones and dust the pc inside out.

You could also get a thir party fan for your videocard if one is available.

>>80640
Already got the updated drivers.

How would I tell what my fans are spinning at?
I dusted my PC out about a week ago.

>>80646
My bios tells me and i could install motherboard software also to show me.

you can run speccy and it should show you the temps of the different components

If it only happens after a few hours it might be memory leak, which basically means the PC won't free up RAM that's not needed any more. The immediate fix is to reboot, though there's things you can do.
