Marine Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 seems a bit high to me, might want to buy another CPU cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 stock cooling sucks, especially on a quad core cpu... get a real heatsink, watercooling, or something like the CoolIt TEC cooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 download core temp and see what that tells ya! Or the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool, that might help you out as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
