Temperature checking

Hey guys, I was just wondering what you think about my cpu temps, as I want to make sure Im not running too hot or anything.

Idle: 33°C
Load: 65°C (Using Prime95)

What do you think? Any help is welcome

(Find my specs in my sig)

Isn't the maximum temperature for these processors 62°C?

It would look a tad too warm.

What do you recommend me doing?

I recently re-applied my thermal paste as I thought there was too much on it before.

Assuming that your cooler is fitted correctly then:

a) Reduce the overclock

b) Try and keep the overclock but reduce the voltage

c) Buy a better cooler

d) Invest in some better cooling for your case if it doesn't have good air flow

e) Nothing - If it's 65°C running a 100% CPU use stress test then in real life usage you probably won't get to that temperature

Thanks for the advice

What cpu fans do you suggest? I thought my fan was good
