You should get 40C max at idle and 60C max gaming. So 80C is way too high.
How are you measuring the temp? Is your CPU overclocked?
Using Corsair link, what fan speeds pump speed hare you getting?
Hi, thanks for replying. I am measuring my temperature via Core Temp. My CPU is overclocked currently to 4.2GHz @ 1.1 Voltage. I am using prime95 atm to test the overclock so my CPU is at 100% usage..not sure if when gaming the temp would still be at 80c since im sure the CPU wouldnt be at 100% usage all the time. Here are my fan speeds and pump speed: http://gyazo.com/e571e2a8ebbdcd72abb4ce0226bea03d Currently my temps dont go over 80c and dips to mid-high 70s.
80C for prime is to be expected. Only Prime 95 v 26.6 (or OCCT) should be used on your CPU.
The pump and fans are running fast.
At the moment my idle temp is: 35c and when gaming my temp is: around 55c measured using Core Temp and Speccy. I just thought 80c seemed a little high for prime95 but I guess not
