Should I be worried?

The most powerful machine in my Folding@home setup is only using a single stock CPU cooler and whatever fans came with the graphics card. The case as a single small fan in the front that doesn't seem to be doing much. The case was not hot, but warmer than I'd like, with noticeably hot air coming out. Since I lack case fans I have one of these in the back pointed at the case's rear fan holes (which have no mounted fan):

I just turned the fans back on again a few minutes ago. It was sitting at 88 C on the hottest core! 

 

Now it's at 60 C.

 

Np, you should not be worried. Even at 88 C under full load, that's pretty good. You should not be worried at all. I bet cleaning that thing is a real pain though.

ENCRYPTION IS NOT A CRIME

88C under load is not "pretty good", it's boderline dangerous for long term 24/7 crunching. Even more so if he's got a locked CPU and is running a rather weak test such as F@H (which, let's face, it's not very intensive on the CPU at all).

Small footnote: 88 C was the hottest core, not the average for the CPU. Not sure if that matters. :S

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special. -_-

Not really, it's still hotter than we'd like. Give it a summer day and it's only going to get worse.
