75-80c temperature while gaming

[AnonymouseUser]

No I am not. I just added new thermal paste. 'plastic from the bottom'? where is that in the video? I don't see any plastic thingy D:

It's just sooo freaking loud. I have no idea if it's the GPU or the CPU making the noise and the noise is loud as hell I can hear it next door. If it's the CPU I will buy a new one because I cannot stand it anymore, but I want to make sure if it's the CPU that is making the noise and hotness.
and yes all clips etc are locked securely.

Also, I just tested everythign again, and I get the same results
Nothing is working atm. Btw is this normal that my hair gets very static? I mean when I put my shirt near my hair it goes up... i swear something is coming out my pc and one day it's going to electrocute me lol.

Ok, let's just start from the beginning (pics would help). What heatsink do you have? Did you replace the CPU and heatsink, or did you use the old heatsink?

As for the plastic on the bottom, it looks like they use the tray now to protect the thermal pads, so I may be wrong about that. Some older heatsinks had a layer of plastic on the thermal pads to keep them clean, but that may not be the case any more.

Finally, you do not need to buy another CPU. It's fine, it's just getting too hot, and frankly I'm surprised it gets that hot without crashing or shutting the PC down. My i5 was overheating recently and (the CPU fan had frozen), and games were crashing at 90C, but you're getting over 100C without crashes.

I did not replace the CPU nor the heatsink. I just added new thermal paste.

I am scared. Because it's getting the point where i think my PC is going to explode because it's soooooooooooooooOoOoOoooooooooooo loud and hot.

If you can help me detect what is causing the problem then I have no choice to discard it buy a new one?

Did you thoroughly clean the old paste off before you added new?

A good way to find out if it's your CPU or GPU making the noise is to take the side off of your case while it's running, and look/listen. Tell us which is making noise, and we can better advise you on what steps to take to make it less noisy.

We need some more details.
What is the cpu heatsink? Intel stock? Aftermarket? Which one?
How much experience do you have with building computers?
If it's the Intel stock heatsink, are you sure it's installed correctly? Many people make mistakes with those stock pushpin heatsinks due to lack of experience.

Overall I agree with most. The cpu is too hot, so the heatsink is most likely not installed correctly.
It's best to mount those Intel heatsinks with the motherboard out of the case so you can see the back. When looking at the back of the board, all the heatsink pins should be fully through the motherboard, and all the black center pins need to be pushed all the way through the white split pins.
The top of the black center pin should be even with the white split portions. If not, you did it wrong.

Yes

Can confirm. It's the CPU

I have this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qczGR4KMnY
intel stock? dunno Aftermarket? dunno. No idea what they are.
How much experience do you have with building computers? NOOB status.
If it's the Intel stock heatsink, are you sure it's installed correctly? YES. 4 push pins are secured.

What is heatsink? The heasink is the thing below the fan?

The stock Intel heatsink should be sufficient to cool your chip if it's clean, if you have acceptable case airflow, if you applied thermal paste properly, and if it's seated properly.

-Make sure the Intel stock heatsink isn't full of dust. It's safe to take the fan off and rinse it in water. Make sure to let it dry thoroughly before putting it back in your PC. You might also choose to use compressed air to de-dust it.

-When applying thermal paste, my preferred method is to put a bit around the size of a dry grain of rice in the middle of the CPU's IHS, and then press the CPU onto it, letting the mounting pressure spread it evenly and without air bubbles.

-When closed and with your PC running, your case should not be significantly warmer than the air outside. If it is, you need to add additional fans or rearrange the ones you have.

-When your PC is running, if putting pressure on the heatsink with a finger causes your temperatures to drop rapidly, you have a mounting problem.

That's the stock Intel heatsink+fan. Generally, when people say "heatsink", they actually mean the heatsink and fan together, but technically only the metal part is the heatsink.

Cappuccino have you tried monitoring your temperatures with another app? Try CoreTemp RC8 (it's free) it'd be interesting. I'm not a fan of hwinfo really, I think that having two sources of temperature information would be useful.

Try CoreTemp RC8 (it's free) it'd be interesting.

My opinion of CoreTemp. If you must, you are somehow supposed to know that the installer is malware but the standalone (zip file - "more downloads") is fine. Never install CoreTemp!

What happens if you set the BIOS to defaults?

Having all 4 cores at 3.8ghz may simply be too much for the stock heatsink?

water cooling.... do some research

Do you have any case fans to move the heat of the gpu and cpu out of the case? The 390s are all 3rd party coolers so they don't blow much of the heat out of the case. If you don't have any or just 1 case fan, the heat is just going to build inside the case until it is overheating like you are seeing.

If you leave the side off of the case while gaming, do you still see the cpu reach such high temps?

Also, what brand of 390 do you have? Some of the partners decided to seemingly feed as much voltage as possible to their 390 chips and it's completely unnecessary. You can reduce the heat output of a lot of the 390 cards with some voltage tweaks.
