Hi everyone.

 

I recently installed a new core 2 quad q9550 CPU on my system. I noticed that the fan spins loudly with this one. The temperatures will be in a pictures attached. Do I need to be worried?

IMO, yes, it's a bit hot.

You can get a good, short enough aftermarket cooler like Cryorig M9i for less than $20

I probably forgot the thermal paste. Anyway, thanks for replying. I'll check out the cooler if applying thermal paste doesn't do any good...

Sounds a bit too hot for idle, i recommend good quality thermal paste and an aftermarket cooler. 

 

Edit: i got ninja'd, didn't see the replies.

My cooler is pretty good but I think I forgot the thermal paste. What's the temperature range I should be looking for?
