I think you are correct. Try running Prime95(google it and download if you don't have it, sorry I'm on my phone and don't have the link on it) on blend and see what the temps get to. But as it stands, you're pretty hot. If I had to give you advice right now, I'd say to call your PC manufacturer to start a trouble ticket. Let us know.
Just helping out with the link and good test steps with Prime95:
- Run Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95 to determine any hardware problems. Run all three tests for a few hours each. If you get errors, stop the test and post back here.
Thanks writhziden! I forgot to come back here when I got in to post the link. Muchas gracias!
Holy crap I forgot all about this thread, I'm sorry. The real world has thrown me one too many curveballs lately. I did some research on my processor and lots of other people have been having the exact same issue, conveniently with the same series of processors and the exact same games. It had something to do with how certain games handle AMD "Bulldozer" CPUs. Long story short, I updated my BIOS and now everything's fine. I bought another case fan anyway because the temps could stand to be a little lower. Thanks for the help guys.
