CPU Problems
The stock cooler is the nearest spot to buy thermal paste, but it's about 5 hours away. Are there other options you could explore?
Use a tool called HWInfo64 for temperature readings only. If you lack sensors, simply touch the device. Adding case fans might help improve airflow. The problem could stem from high CPU usage or overheating memory—70°C is likely too high. Decide whether to wait for the program to stop or close on its own.
If it occurs, I either stop the game or exit voice chat and pause Spotify.
Notice any cooler that appears loose in a few corners—this could signal a problem—or if the stock cooler fan isn’t working, you’re likely facing an issue. If not, consider purchasing new thermal paste online, such as a Hyper212, which is more affordable and includes it. You might also explore alternatives like direct thermal paste. Check system monitoring tools like Task Manager or HWinfo64 to verify if the processor is idle or if background tasks are consuming resources. Look at core utilization percentages and clock speed to ensure performance matches specifications.
