i5 2400 CPU overheating

[Hemanth_1]

hi, i recently noticed that games started to slow down after 3 - 5 min of gameplay, so i checked my CPU and video card temps, to my surprise, cpu temps were 65C at idle, and 99C at full load !!!

What should i do ?

It sure seems to be a problem of overheating, so try to clean all the dust inside from the cabinet and also apply any thermal paste on the processor if it is worn out. A cpu cooler would be also a good choice to cool the system if it is installed. Normally, after every 6 months or so a regular maintenance of the computer should be done to avoid any overheating problems.
