Is it too high? 2 months ago i made this same test and these 2 cores didn't get past 71ºC. What could've happened?

It's running on 4.45 ghz @ hyper 212 evo on a p8p67 deluxe.

It's too high for my tastes but well within Intel specs.

The why could be anything from ambient room temp, to dust in the heat sink or other air-flow issues, to a change in fan control profile, maybe even unwanted voltage bumps.

If you have two fans on your 212 with a splitter, you may have one fan not spinning but also not throwing an error. (Only one fan talks to the MB with many three pin splitters)

I would also re-apply the thermal paste if you have some handy.

I have only one fan on my 212.

And it's not been 2 months since i changed the thermal past. But i'll try changing it again anyways.

Thanks for the tips.
