No. That's NOT normal. In fact, that temperature is really high and unsafe considering the fact that it's at stock clock speed...

You should re-apply the thermal paste and re-seat the heatsink ASAP.

yeah its definitely the cpu over heating. its at 28-30. after less than 3 min in game it goes to 68 and keeps climbing unless i alt tab

This is what I said yesterday was most likely the issue and not not a lack of power issue. You had assured me that it was not an overheating CPU saying that you have been monitoring and checking it. Slightly frustrated to hear that this is indeed the issue.

Well at least you now know what the real issue is.

Buying new Chassi fans will probably not help you here.. What you need is a new heat sink with a decent thermal paste.

Before you can do this tho.. your PC is in danger if you do choose to play games on it in this condition. What you can do as a bandaid is to get a program like speed fan and make sure your heatsink and chassis fans are running at 100% (If you to choose to take the risk of gaming) Your PC wont be overheating unless it is under load. Normal things like internet browsing, and email will not put your computer under major load, and will probably not overheat you.
