I've had this computer for about 3 years and recently thought about overclocking my system instead of, or in addition to upgrading my computer.
So after downloading prime95 and HWmonitor I thought I'd give a test run before I made any changes to my processor speed. In 2 minutes 2 secs of using Prime95 my Processor temps shot up to 77c or 170F at which point I stopped the test.
Here's a screenie of my computer stats with cpu-z

Here's a screenie of HWmonitor [after, not during stress test]
previously my minimum cpu temp was 44c and maximum of 66c
The Reason why my minimum temp changed is most likely because I stuck my window fan [the kind you stick in your window in your house] next to my computer which was in place while running the stress test [also i have the side cover of my tower completely off also was as such during the stress test]

From what I understand the temperatures I reached in 2minutes 2 seconds with Prime95 are quite abnormal. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Oh and those are the values I reached while performing a Small FFTs test.
I tried running a blend test as well but after hitting 69c on my core temps within a few seconds I panicked and ended the Prime95 process so I cannot provide the exact running time for that test. =3
