I received a high temperature warning with my i3-4170 and 2x4GB RAM. After launching GTA V, I noticed increased heat and a strange odor. This suggests the thermal paste might be degraded. It’s likely you should replace it. The motherboard appears fine, but since it shut down due to overheating, cleaning or changing the paste could help prevent future issues. The process is generally straightforward if you follow proper steps.
