Hi, guys

I Recently purchased the Ultima Vanquish System, from Overclockers.

When I run Arma 2 on the machine, the cores go up to 80c after about an hour when using coretemps software as a guide.
The machine's cores Idle at around 62c, and unit is located in a well ventilated area.
I ran a test which told me the fan was running at 60% but I don't know how to make it run at 100%?

Am I in danger of screwing up this new machine?
What are the normal gaming/idle temps?

The full setup is-
Case Coolermaster Elite 335
Intel Core i7 920 D0 3.80GHz!
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600MHz) Low Latency Tri-Channel
Titan TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir CPU Cooler
Graphic Card: Nvid 295 GTX 1792MB
Sound card Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card - OEM (30SB057000000)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Belkin F5D7000UK 125Mbps Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter
LG GH22NS40 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black)
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound professionally hand installed by our technicians

Any advice would be greatfully accepted.
Sorry for my ignorance, but I am sure this cannot be right?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. Yes those temps are quite high. Did you fit the heat sink yourself? It may be worth removing, re-applying thermal paste and refitting the heat sink (or for starters you could just try and reseat the heatsink, checking fan orientation as well to supply best airflow to the cooler). Also a chat with the OC tech department wouldn't go amiss :)
 
being as the system as been transported as a system i'd double check that the cooler is seated correctly as per Bony Maloney.
 
Sounds plausible. Thats not exactly a quality case.
A 29 quid case with a system like that in it just isn't wise.
 
Any suggestions as to what is a decent case to get?
I don't even know what the heatsink is so I defo didn't fit it.

Thanks for the help thou!
 
I would reseat the heatsink. A while back I had to transport my PC...after about a weeks use I went to overclock, and realised the CPU had been reaching 100-120C under load (with a very modest oc)!!! The heatsink had come loose just enough to loose most of its cooling potential. Will never make that mistake again.
 
He should'nt have to replace the case as the whole system was pre-built by OCUK. They should be using components that are up to the job. There have been similar threads to this over the past couple of weeks about pre-built rigs reaching high temps.

Try re-seating the cooler and if that does'nt work get onto OCUK about it.
