AMD FX-9590 Max Temperature?
Well i've had this computer for awhile now (a year and a half) and all of a sudden I've been getting random fps drops. I downloaded the program "SpeedFan" to see my temps. The temp sensor says it's about 70C while i'm playing a game. and the core temp is around 60C. My question is if this is too high for my cpu and if it is what I should do. Thanks.
Specs-
CPU- AMD FX-9590 4.7ghz
GPU- AMD Radeon r9 280x 3GB HIS ICQ Edition
RAM- 8GB
HDD- 1TB West Digital Black
SSD- 250GB
I also have a Asetek 570LX 240MM Coolant

Under load, 70 C is a bit high but shouldn't be causing the FPS drops. You should avoid 80+ C (which usually means you need to clean out the dust from your system, or your CPU cooler is not good enough). At 90 C, the computer should restart itself to prevent damage.
Your CPU cooler should be getting way better temps than that though. I would try to reapply your thermal paste. Check for any leaks while you're at it.
Did you recently install any updates? OS or drivers?
