Hi,
I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some advice. I'm currently using a core i5 750 CPU (not overclocked) with an Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 Pro cooler and I've noticed that my CPU temps seemed to be a bit high. When the CPU is idle according to SpeedFan the CPU temp is 32°C and the core temps are 42-46°C, however when I ran a stress test with Prime95 the CPU temp jumped to 84°C and the core temps jumped to 98°C within about 7 seconds.
I'm wanting to do some video editing but I'm having to leave it at the moment as this has the same effect of driving the CPU temps up.
Is it a case of the cooler I'm using is rubbish and I should be looking for something better? should I try re-applying the thermal paste? or something else?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
