I'm getting quite worried about my cpu temps on stress tests programs, especially prime 95. I have a pre built pc from Dino pc and the cpu is overclocked to 4.3 and a voltage of 1.224. The cooler is a Corsair H60 Water Cooler and it seemed to be working well. My temps on idle are 30's and during games 50's but stress tests kill it with 80's or even low 90's. I installed speed fan and noticed the speed of my cpu fan doesn't increase at all as temperature increases. Is this the problem or is the cooler just faulty ?
On a side note i uninstalled speed fan after messing with automatic fan setting (i turned it on) i became nervous that it might mess even more with my cpu temps and uninstalled it, I also made sure to delete all the files (even in my registry) is it completely gone and no longer having an affect as i don't want to damage my cpu.
Thanks for any help you can give.

exactly bro. you should differ gaming from reality. in games torture is plainly reckless slaughter and overkilling,in reality it's the agony which feels so persistent that the CPU running the torture test would like to fry himself and get over it because he cant take it anymore,the pain is so unbearable it feels like it'scapacitors gonna blow inside out and microchip will boil slowly melting away to the eternity

..fine maybe too much drama..but don't torture your PC.

Right i ran the prime 95 version you posted and after 4 minutes my max temp was 98 it's time to get this cooler sorted or possibly re apply thermal paste. Thanks for the info

Were do you have your fan connected on your board is it a CPU bdan header and were is your pump connected to?

They should both be to CPU headers if you have them so they increase in speed with temps

All through you have a reasonable OC on it and a not very high end cooler
