Hello. I don't really know if this is the right forum because i'm not overclocking but..here it goes:
I have a Phenom II X4 955 cpu, and I'm using the stock cooler.
When i built up the sistem, i did some stress testing with prime and it had a full load temp of 59 degrees Celsius. That was a few months ago. Today i did a stress test again, and the temperature jumped well beyond the limit of 63 degrees, it was around 68-69 when i stopped the test, afraid of..well.. the thing blowing up
Is this normal? What do you recommend? I have to mention tough that when i installed the stock cooler i had some trouble, it does hold very tight doesn't move at all but maybe i should check it again?
P.S. The second time i used Easy Tune to monitor temps, but the first time i used another program..could that be it?
