Hey!
Here is the benchmark of the CPU temp.
http://imgur.com/a/SoIiX

Its the cpu running at 100% using everyother components and it gets 60 degrees and without its 62 degrees

The motherboard is msi ms-7529 ver 1.6
Running on intel dual core 2.6 ghz e5300 and 2 gb ram
Windows 7 sp1 (32 bit)

it has a stock intel cooler that came with the cpu (only cooler)
and MICRO ATX casing (dont know the correct model, sorry :( )

have to keep this PC alive until I build a new one?
I am new on these pc stuff so please bear with me

Are these temps. good or bad?
if its bad for my pc what can I do to get on low temperature?

Rohit_Rayhan,

"HeavyLoad" is a good choice for thermal testing, because it's a steady-state 100% workload.

Although Intel's "Tcase" Thermal Specification is 74C, as sutek89 has pointed out, Tcase is "CPU" temperature, not "Core" temperature. This specification is very confusing and misleading, and is misunderstood by almost everyone.

CPU temperature is 5C cooler than Core temperature due to differences in the proximity of the sensors to the heat sources. Throttle temperature is 100C, and is the temperature at which the processor will reduce frequency for thermal protection. This is shown in your screenshot on Core Temp 1.4 as the value called "Tj Max".

Here's the nominal operating range for Core temperature...

Here's the nominal operating range for Core temperature:

Core temperatures above 85°C are not recommended.

Core temperatures below 80°C are ideal.

Core temperatures increase and decrease with Ambient temperature.

Also, you might want to give this Sticky a read: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

Everything is explained in there, including the differences between CPU temperature and Core temperature.

Thanks Computronix,

Now I can use the pc without worrying about temp. problem :D :)

One would hope, that two years later, he's still not worrying about his CPU temps.
