System Info:
Overclocked my i7-290 to about 3.7 (blck - 180 x 21.0)
Case: Antec 1200
Heatsink: Vigor Monsoon III LT
Thermal Paste: IC7
Mobo: Gigabyte UD3R
At idles with fans at lowest settings I'm running around 50*C. I was reading the newegg reviews, and it seems like most people were able to clock it to 4ghz or keep idle temps around the 30s. When I run a prime 95 stress test with fans on max, my temps are around 80-85*C. These numbers seemed a bit high, am I doing anything wrong here?
I feel like I should be able to take this system to 4.0ghz without too much worry.
EDIT: I might note this is my first ever system build, so I'm new to all of this :b
