Hello All,

I just got the NP-9772-S yesterday, and one thing I noticed is that this computer runs HOT! At idle, it is 55 celcius. All testing programs (Intel XTU, Prime95, etc), all push it from 55 to 98 instantly. I've read that some of the Prime95 test's will max out the CPU because of a certain instructions that get used. But I've also read that the "small" test only kicks the 4790K up to 70c. Even the XTU program stress test brings the CPU to 98c. The fan is constantly running. I had extra copper heatsinks added at Xoticpc, and the paste used was the IC Diamond. Is there a heat issue with this model? I only got this thing yesterday, there is not dust or hair in the vents. This thing is a beast, but it won't remain a beast for long running at these temps. Any ideas?
