Core i7 930 temps

[sgs2008]

Hi im running a core i7 930, not overclocked with turbo boost on. My idle temps are about 50-55, which are a bit high but alright I guess. However when running prime95 and stressing my cpu to 100% load temps went up to 90 Celsius within 5 minutes. They stayed there for a little while but I stopped the test soon after. Is there anything i can do to bring these temps down besides getting new fans for my case. I plan on playing dragon age 2 and crysis 2 heavily next month so i don't want my cpu to be running at that kind of a temp for along time. The ambient temp of my room is prob around 33 degrees. Thanks.

Those temps are high imo, plus your ambient temp doesn't help either.
Are you using the stock cooler?
What case do you have?

Ok what i would do is immediately add a 120mm front intake fan and a 140mm top exhaust fan .
I don't know where you live it sounds hot like South Africa or something but Antec makes good quality fans available in led colours or without.

I would also add an effective 120mm cpu cooler i'm not too sure about fit since your case has a side fan but your case is a good size width wise.
I'll link some suggestions from Newegg that are under 160mm tall.

The only other decent cooler that i know of that's smaller is the CM Hyper N520.
