Have you appkied a layer of thermal paste between the cpu and the heatsink?
How old is the setup (e.g. you mounted it 6 years ago, 1 month...)?
It's not surprisingly high temps, but is that at full load or idle? |

Try installing speedfan and after that play a game for about 15 minutes.
After you've gotten back on your desktop you can view a graph of what the cpu temps were.
Did it reach 80c? Then it's getting too hot!
If it's getting too hot it can mean one of 3 things:
-The HSF isn't installed/working properly
-Case ventilation isn't good enough
-The HSF isn't adequate to cool a cpu with this heat production |

It's a little high, have you installed the heatsink in the right way?
Once I reversed the position and I got those 10° more.
Can you describe the heatsink, maybe as suggested it is too fair for that cpu, or it was bundled with it in the box with it? |
