Hi,

I have a i5-2500k and I recently was curious about what my CPU temp would be so i used realtemp and coretemp. Both the programs showed all 4 cores of my cpu at 90+ during idle. I use a stock cooler and I had this cpu for 4 years already and i run at stock speed. I havent noticed any lag for past 4 years but I have noticed a lot higher cpu usage than before. Im just worried that my cpu may have been running at 90+ degrees for 4 years and is degrading

Yes give your voltages to the man and also you should replace the thermal paste and check the cooler is still properly seated.
My CPU ran at 90+ degrees too, till I replaced the paste now it's a cool max of 60 on even the hottest of days while gaming.
