Serious Problem!

Thanks to everyones suggestions and help.

Have reseated the heatsink and the temps while no where near as bad are still poor.

see images attached for idle temps and after a few mins of stress! think I must be very poor at seating the heatsink and will have to do it again!! Have checked all the fans and they are working fine. I am not expert but vcore seem ok as well.

Temps seem to be within safe limits. Is the CPU fan set to max speed? Also, what case is it all fit in?

It's a cm690 ii case and the fan has been running at 2200 rpm which I think is 100% as far as I know. Do you not think that the temps should be far lower especially at stock settings?

Run RealTemp Sensor Test with prime95 Small FFTs and post the results here.

Before that, try reseating the hsf and also reapplying thermal paste as shown in one of the many youtube videos. Your method isn't good at all.

have you cleaned off your old thermal paste and applied enough to cover the entire surface? also make sure the whole contact area is clean

Greatings,

I have reseated the heatsink and ran RealTemps sensor test as advised. The results below. I think they are much better now and am relatively happy. Does anyone think it is ok to go ahead with a small overclock?
