Hey guys,
I had never really looked at my computer's inner temps until recently, but was very surprised to see that my CPU and MB were idling at very high temps. These temps rose significantly higher (70-75C) while playing intensive video games (BF3, GTA, etc.). I have not overclocked my system at all. What could be causing these temps to be so high? What could I do to potentially lower the CPU/MB temps?
Operating System = Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU = Intel Core i5 760 @ 2.80GHz Lynnfield 45nm Technology 58 °C
RAM = 4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard = ASUSTeK Computer INC. P7P55D-E LX (LGA1156) 52 °C
Graphics = ASUS VS238 (1920x1080@60Hz) 1023MB GeForce GTX 465 (EVGA) 43°C
Hard Drives = 466GB Seagate ST3500418AS ATA Device (SATA) 27 °C
