CPU temp

Sharpz · 10 Jul 2010 at 22:35

just bought this setup https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-029-OB

been running about a week now and ive noticed the cpu temp is quite high, 50-55 degree at 0% load and around 70 degree when running games etc, also tried prime95, at 100% load it was 90.... i know its red hot weather here atm but it does seem to be abnormally high or is this normal with an overclocked cpu?.

90 does seem fairly warm, wonder if the heatsink has become loose during transit.
Might be worth posting a note in the customer section below.

id suggest a re seat and fan check first, that does seem a tad high , even though its been hot weather.

a lot cooler today, idleing around 35 degree and 55 at 100% load, will still look at the seating, thanks.

ignore that, low temps because overclocking had reset itself to default.
