A bit straightforward. Restart the cooler and reinstall it, adjust fan speeds. If you have around $30, upgrade to a better one—it makes a difference.
It should work well for that 65W CPU. I'm currently using one and it's performed nicely for about three years. For a quick check, you can take off the side panel to see if the fan runs and if temperatures drop (indicating airflow issues). I think a dry thermal paste after a year is unlikely. Look at your usage in Task Manager—there might be background processes running.
Sure, I understand. I purchased the PC a year ago, so I'm not sure if the thermal paste is still intact.
No one checked if he had PBO activated, given the absence of a smooth case flow and a weak cooler. It might help to see if he went on thin, though it’s fair to note his rig has been heating up since the start. Typically, WHEA configurations focus on fabric speed or memory settings. I’d check that section.
