allllec said:What exact CPU are you running mate?
Also, using a program like CPU-Z or similar what is the vCore?
Have you used thermal paste between the heatsink and the CPU?
PaulProteus said:I meant to list your specifications:
CPU, mobo, memory, GPU, case (how many fans it has), etc.
Whether the temps you observe are idle or under load. This will give some indications for the culprit. If you give just fragmented information, it is difficult to work out what and why.
The program you mention should be TAT. What is the ASUS probe giving you (in case you have it installed from the utility CD that came with the mobo).
Core Temp is considered the most precise tool but I am using ASUS probe, Everest Ultimate Edititon and Coretemp and the difference is a couple of degrees between them.
It would help if you find some AS5 (thermal paste) clean carefuly the current thermal paste (some isopropanol or nail varnish cleaner will be helpful), apply AS5 (the size of a rice grain will be sufficient) and re-set the HSF.
Check also the cables in your case, whether they prevent the air circulation, etc.
All this together should change the temp readings. Of course you could always buy a new better CPU cooler (Tuniq Tower, ninja, artcic freezer pro 7, etc spring to mind).
