Topic: high temps? Posted: 13 Feb 2009 at 11:46pm |
My temps while running prime 95 for just 20 mins are pretty high. I'm using HWMonitor. My four cores on the i7 920 are at about 78, 81, 71, 75. My CPU temp is 70. My Vreg is 56 and my system is 24. Do these temps look normal or are they on the high side? I have the cooler master V8 and the HAF case with the performance fans, so I'm not sure what temps are ideal. Any help on how to reduce temp would be appreciated! I'm overclocked to 3.3 if that makes any differance. other than these temps my machine is great!

check your system with temps while playing your games for an hour instead. thats what matters if after an hour these are your temps and they don't go over 85c you are good.
also check your temps in the bios to be sure that temps shown are correct bios never makes a mistake with temps. also make sure you are not mistaking your GPU fans for your CPU fan Edited by DST4ME - 13 Feb 2009 at 11:52pm |

great idea, crysis is CPU intensive so its gonna be one of the games that will put a nice load on your CPU.
