For some reason, every computer I've had always had overheating issues. My PC that I've had for just over a year is starting to overheat on big games, i.e. Escape from Tarkov and Siege even if I put them on lowest settings. I clean my PC out from dust regularly and use compressed air, so I don't think the dust is the problem nor do I think it's dust in my heat sink. Any ideas?

Reasons:
Can't remember any other issues at this moment..
- If you're using a stock cooler, which you have gotten with the purchase of the CPU
- Stock coolers are weak and are not meant for high temps, they're just meant to keep the CPU alive in normie PCs.
- Stock coolers do not have the power to cool your CPU
- Get a CoolerMaster 212 Evo - Annoying installation, but works like a charm.
- Shitty Thermal paste
- Do not use the stock thermal paste
- Get Arctic MX-4
- Dust
- Clean your fans from dust
- Shitty case
- Airflow is very important when buying a case. Hope you didn't go just for the looks.
- And please for the love of god don't leave your case open and call it good airflow
- Case fans
- Make sure the fans on your case are fully operational and that the temps inside the case aren't the cause of this issue
