I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 Brisbane 2.70 GHz, not overclocked.
I am using the ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 CPU Cooler, and arctic silver 5 thermal. I have reseated the heat sink multiple times using both the dot application as well as using a razor to spread the paste thinly. I have waited the 200 hours burn time in all applications.
I also have 3 additional fans around the case, one intake two exhaust.
So when I first start my computer and turn on Core Temp, I'm idling at about 38c.
As the day goes on it'll idle around 40c. When I launch even a basic game my temps go into the 60's. It usually goes into the 70's at about an hour of gameplay, when I then panic and turn it off. The max I've let it get to is 74c.
Are these temps ok for my CPU? I've found varying answers, but I feel like they're too high for comfort.
I'm very confused why my temps are so high, and would love some input on why this is happening.
