CPU idle overheat

You recently installed a new prebuilt PC and noticed your GPU stays cool while your CPU gets hot. After applying fresh thermal paste and adjusting the heat sink, the problem continues. You have an HP stock cooler, though you're not certain of its exact model. You might need a new heat sink, or there could be another issue you're missing. I understand HP gaming rigs often have limited cooling and poor airflow inside the case. Thanks, Alex.

Use cinebench r23 with HWinfo64 to track temperatures. Run it for 10 minutes and observe the readings.

Tomorrow I’ll be there. My sleep routine is all over the place. For EST it’s 6 a.m., and I haven’t even started sleeping yet, haha.

The measurement was performed on a multi-core Cinebench R23 assessment, with the image captured 9 minutes into the process.
