CPU TEMP 40.0C
CPU FAN 2220RPM
this is the temp when i am not doing nothink when i ran it through 3d mark it toped 85 C WARNING!! in red came up then settled down again should it get this hot and
how hot relly is it getting while playing games?
the EXT CLOCK is saying 200mhz, in turbo mode it will prob go to 216mhz does that seem right? ive check and disabled cool and quite mode in bios but no change in both ,
ive got 120 rear fan and 120 front fan, think its a 97m side fan on window ,

Hi mate

First of all, have you put any Artic Cooling grease on your CPU. If not look here

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=57&subid=27

This is Overclockers there sometimes good on deals but you can find some grease there. Just apply it onto the top of ur CPU and put your heat sink back on. Also I might recommend a Water Cooler which you can find on Overclockers.

AMD's tend to get very hot because they are Pre Overclocked. This means there CPU's aren't what ever they say it is for an example:

If they say its a 3.00GHZ CPU Its Probably a 2.00GHZ Overclocked to 3.00GHZ and thats why they over heat.

In future I Recommend Intel. There abit more expensive then AMD but there well worth it.

I hope this info is useful and sorry if Im treating you like an idiot but I dont know what level of experience you have.

All the Best
