Your cpu at high temps will start to underclock.

My video card gets to 96c now and it sucks :/

Nah my temp is caused by lack of thermal paste.

I will probably put some on as soon as i go to a mates house with small screwdriver.

 

[aspire]

your not using thermal paste!?!?!?

that is very, very bad.

In the meantime, I would highly advise you to discontinue use of the computer until you get thermal paste put on.

And I'm sure any other techie on the forums will agree with me on that.

I think AS will make a bit better, but I would start looking to improve your case cooling if ur temps are that high.
