Solve : CPU Too hot??

Answer»

I just installed an ECO Coolit liquid cooling into my computer. Currently running an i7-960, not overclocked. I ATTACHED a file that shows the temps I was getting. Are these normal or too high?

[recovering disk space - old attachment DELETED by admin]Looks too high to me...was that under load or at idle ? ?That was under 100% load, the highest stress test with prime95Quote from: iamtonsoffun247 on May 19, 2011, 09:39:10 AM

That was under 100% load, the highest stress test with prime95

Max safe temp (Tjmax) for an i7 is 100 C so in general 20 below that should be OK - that is 80 C. This is roughly what your shot shows. I have read of Australians saying they get 75-80 during prime95. But that and other stressing apps are not typical usage (unless you run Folding at HOME). If you consistently get over about 85 during real world usage I would investigate improving your cooling.
