Hi everyone,
So my friend was having some temperature problems on his new computer, and he introduced me to Speccy. I decided to try it out on my new PC and noticed some alarming temperatures.
My computer is brand new. It was built for gaming (AMD A8 6600k, 8GB RAM, Raedon R9 GPU), and is in a Rosewill challenger U3 case that comes with 3 fans. It is running Windows 7. I have no experience building computers, so my local Canada Computers built it for me.
I have only installed a handful of programs: malware bytes, advast antivirus, speccy, and some games.
So speccy shows that the CPU is idling at about 55c. Whenever I do any minor task, such as go to a new website, open speccy, open steam, or even open a new tab, the CPU temp spikes about 20c. When I had speccy and a few other program open the CPU spiked at 90c after opening a game. Pretty much anything I do results in a large temperature spike.
The games I'm playing are not very intensive considering my specs. It runs Dawn of War 2 smoothly but at over 70c.
The computer is in a cool room on a carpet.
Should I be worried about this? Most people seem to say around 40c is a normal idle...
Thanks.
