Uh, yeah. That's more than a bit high.

What are you using to cool that thing?

130F is 54C, that's not that high. Is that 54C under full load or idling?

:huh:

He just said it was 87C.

:confused:

:confused: and i think he is too. it's either 87C or 87F, but it can't be either of those AND 137F.

:wtf:

87c *2=174 +32=206f

87f -32=55 /2=27.5c

that's not how you convert the temperatures

87C * 9/5 + 32 = 188.6
87F -32 * 5/9 = 30.6

5/9 is hardly 1/2.

oops

Cpu Temperature - 56C - 132F

System Temperature - 30C - 86F

Cpu Fan - 5120 RPM

System Fan - 0 RPM (???)

and is that 56C under load or idle? what does it read under load? (after running prime95 for a long time, at least 30 minutes)

idle

in my book thats quite hot... of course i think anything over 45 degrees to be pushing it

how about under load? and prime95 it. if you crash, you most likely have cpu stability problems.

whats prime95?

:google:

it's a program that'll do some really complex computations on your system to stress things including your cpu.
