    Another key thing is that I have a non stock cpu cooler that I have yet installed I attempted to install it yesterday however. I know that metal is not supposed to touch my mother board in the video I have linked below for the installation of the cpu cooler at the 0:26 mark you will see that the installation process involves a little orange ring that is applied to the top of a screw before installing the heat sink I wanna know if I don't have that little orange ring around the bolt as illustrated in the video will I still be able to install my heat sink. Like I said I am thinking that since I don't have that orange piece the metal from the bolt would be touching my motherboard and fry it. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Hi,
    Hope you realize 100c = Celsius is 212 Fahrenheit.
    No I do not excuse me if I sound uneducated on the matter but however when it comes to cpu temps. I do not know what is a good and bad range beyond the information that was posted, earlier in the thread regarding cpu temps for my cpu. Therefore I don't know how to use the information you have given me this is new to me and I am just doing research so I know how to solve my issue and become more knowledgeable about the topic

    Hi,
    Short story is over 70c on a cpu is getting bad you're well over that
    That's why LBB said don't use the machine until you sort the cooling out and properly apply thermal paste.

    Generally, though, your CPU shouldn’t be running at anything greater than 75C/167°F.

    exactly I am going to get thermal paste and I also wanted to know if I am able to install my cpu cooler after considering the information I gave in my earlier post where I linked a youtube video showing my concerns. With the installation process.

    Hi,
    Yes there should be a rubber washer on the back of the mounting bracket as a spacer between the bracket and back of the board.
