I just built my computer and do not want to let it get to high...I ussually run in the high 80's to low 90's...but I just took the sides off the case and put a huge fan on the side to blow cooler air thorugh...I now run in the 70's...is this a good temp. range or should I let it be in the 90's?

AMD says not to let your CPU get above 70 celcius. The same likely applies for Intels as well.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

Mine runs 50C max on a hot day, usually it is 45C.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

Do what I did and put a huge fan on the side..one that you can put in any window to keep a room cool...then take off the side panels on you comp. you will see 10-15F drop right off....

But it's not working is it? I mean look at your soaring temperature ! That is unless you are quoting the temp in Farenheit*. CPU temps are usually expressed in Celsius.

Maybe the heatsink isn't sitting down and bedding properly.

One thing you can try is to get the CPU working hard so it's quite hot, then GENTLY rotate the heatsink back and forth one or two degrees a few times to help the heatsink "bed" into the Heat transfer compound. This will only work if the heatsink is fitted properly.

If that doesn't work then I would seriously think about removing the heatsink and re-bedding it with some new compound.

If that doesn't work, I would try for a replacement CPU, as your temp is abnormally high and your CPU probably won't last long.

EDIT: It's probably a good idea to contact the supplier first if it's still under warranty, in case they won't honour the warranty if you fiddle with it.
