Is it normal for my CPU to reach the 90's-100's when Converting Videos or Exporting Videos? If not, how can I improve this? It's always at 6-10% usage when surfing the web and it hits 30% when playing video games.

I have a Core i7-950, EVGA GTX 570, ASUS P6X58D-E, 12gb RAM, x2 Western Digital Black, 850w Power supply.

Wait!!
Are you complaining because you chip is using max resouces to get the job done quickly?
I think you are just braging, because your chip does what it's supposed to .
Keep braging, you made a great choice.

I'm not braging. I was just worried because this was the first time i build my own computer and I wasn't sure if that was ok. The CPU reaches 52-55C when i'm converting. Maybe I did install the CPU cooler wrong....
