Posted July 30, 2016 thats a bit high if your CPU is at 30% load, replace the thermal paste and clean out any dust in it and go look at the temps again, that CPU should only get up that high if it was at around 85%-90% load for a while if you didnt loose the silicon lottery real bad I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place. Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier.

Posted July 30, 2016 What are your temperatures in stress testing ... that really matters, also idling temperature test would be nice to know to see if there is a problem. Magical Pineapples
