Hello.

Some OC info:
Clock: 3600 Mhz
Vcore: 3.440 (stock 3.35)

Temps (in Celsius):
Idle ~ 42
Load ~62+ (I stop at 62) after 5 min occt linpack or prime95.

Speedfan load info:
Temp 1: 45
Temp 2: 62
= Abnormal temps?
Temp 3: 62

I assume 2 and 3 three are NB and SB.

My stuff:
PII 940 with Noctua NH-12P cooler
Gigabyte MA790X-DS4
Corsair TX650
Radeon 4890
My case is Nexus Caterpillar, two Nexus 120mm real silent fans.

I have applied the thermal paste in many different ways.

When I am playing games like crysis it never reaches above 50 degrees. What am doing wrong? Poor ventilation in my case? Maybe I have applied the thermal paste wrong? The NB and SB temps maybe somehow increase the temps on my cpu?

Thanks in advance.

Hey tjsoan, welcome!

I honestly don't know what you're worried about; your temperatures seem fine to me. I'd try running prime95 for a longer period, to see if that 62 is already the highest your CPU will go. I'd start worrying a bit if the temp ever goes above 70C.

Hi,

It's just that AMD does not recommend over 62 degrees celsius, so I got a little bit worried.
