I have a system with an i5 4460 cpu with a gb b85 mobo. Of late it had been hitting the 90s frequently under load.. So i decided to remove its cooler(a hyper tx3) clean the surface of the cpu and the cooler, reapply the thermal paste and put them back again.
Strangely however, it didn't make any difference and the cpu still hits 90-95 c on load which causes thermal throttling. The cooler is mounted securely and the fan is installed in the proper orientation as well.
Then why does it still over heat like that? Is there some problem with the mobo?
I used some cm mastergel that i received with a cooler last year-is this paste not effectively dissipating the heat from cpu? Will changing it make any difference to the temps? If so, which paste should be used in its place?
