Hello, I recently built a i7-930 based system. Everything seems to be working fine, except I feel like the CPU is overheating a good deal. I still have the Intel Stock fan, and the solution provided in use at the moment, but I'm still worried about my temperatures.
Build:
Gigabyte XA-UD3R Motherboard
Corsair 650W PSU
i7 930
GTX 260 216
WD 500 GB HDD
ASUS DVD Burner
My computer idles at 45c - 47c, after I messed around with a few settings in the BIOS. (C1E, system performance boosts, etc). If I try to play a game, the CPU temp skyrockets to 90c - 100c.
How do I reduce this temperature? Is this normal for Intel Stock fans? Will an aftermarket cooler really drop the temperature by 30c+?
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
