Hi everyone!
So, just recently built a new PC and, after installing all the software etc, I decided to run some benchmarks. Ran Furmark for some 20min and temp was not higher than 75C and no errors / artifacts (970 Gigabyte G1 Gaming).
However, the CPU seems much too hot when I stress tested it. I started running Prime95 64bit on the "Blend" test. the temperatures hovered around 65ish for the first 10-15min. I presume this is fine. However, at some point Prime95 started running some different tests (I presume, since the Blend test goes through some different tests) and the temperatures jumped to mid to high-80s (max on each core was 84, 87, 88 and 82). At this point, I stopped Prime95 because it did not seem safe.
Case is NZXT H440 and the Noctua has both fans installed (rather than running single-fan mode) and the low-noise adapters are not installed ie running at full speed. I used the thermal paste ("grain of rice") that came with the cooler.
Can anyone please help me (a) verify that I am right in thinking that these temps are neither safe nor normal and (b) if so, what I should do to try and fix it.
Many thanks!!
