Should not be THAT hot. Did you use thermal paste? Did you apply it properly? What kind? What is the current temp? Need more info.
Yes i used AC3 applied a thin layer of it spread it across the heatsink a razor blade but its really hot I dont know the temp because i have no way of finding out

DO a google search for mbm5 (motherboard monitor 5) its a program for displaying temps and such. Or there should be something in bios that says temps.
I know I have that on my comp but I just built my cousins comp and havent even installed a OS yet

Did you look in Bios? My computers have it under "Pc Health" or something like that.
