i have a AMD FX8350 With CM HYPER 212 EVO the idle temp is 42c and while playing BF3 it goes upto 65c :-(
I have used the thermal paste which i got with my cm hyper 212 evo which is 2 year old is it because of it ? should i change the paste ?

Check the ventilation
Maybe there's an airflow problem

> Ventilation is good and cable management is really very good. Seen someone working with cable management after a long time :)

> Try with a new thermal paste. I use Arctic Silver 5 and recommend the same. Do check instructions on manufacturer's website on optimal application pattern for your processor.
