Haven't seen you on, but that could be Time-zone issues. Stick around on the forums and get a little more involved in the community. Be sure to read the rules and keep yourself up to date on them. Not a big fan of hearing about dishonesty in your app, even with something like age. Age isn't a...

Extended. Thanks, Tank.

Invalid. If an Admin would be so kind as to move this to the TF2 section, it'd be greatly appreciated. Strynado, this is at least your second time getting banned for knowingly breaking the rules. Let's not go for the record here, ok?

All you guys are fucking awesome. My computer is currently running under 40 C with the new cooler. The old one would have already been above 70 by now. I can't thank you guys enough for your help. Screw the tech forums and experts, you guys know your shit. :freddie:

I have not checked for an update, no. And before this issue, I hadn't been using CoreTemp because I found it distracting. In hindsight, I probably should have been, but I can't do much about that now. My cooler has arrived and I plan on working on it later today. I have to access the back of...

I do appreciate the input, but I'm just not experienced or comfortable with taking apart my processor. I'm too protective/paranoid/whatever to try that. I'd rather try the cooler first. If that doesn't work out, I'll go from there.

I got confused, sorry. Not sure how, but I did. Anyway, I'm planning on ordering the Cooler Master EVO and when that comes, I'll do the testing. I'd do it tonight, but a family matter has come up that kinda puts a kink in that plan. Again, thanks for the input, guys, I will let you know when I...

That fan in the back is bulkier because that's the radiator(I think) of the Corsair cooler. And it's a Full-size tower. From my measurements, it wouldn't hit the back fan, but I will keep your advice in mind, thanks! Does a GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3GB count as huge and hot? I could try that in a...

Was taking some measurements before I decided to order anything and with the eye test, the CM Evo looks like it would hit the large fan on the side panel. I plugged the case, CPU and cooler into PCPartPicker and didn't get any flags for incompatibility, but I'm not entirely sure it accounts for...

Ok, I'll give that Cooler Master 212 EVO a try. Thanks, everyone, for their input and help.

So if I'm understanding this, the collective recommendation is to try a new cooler?

I don't have another one currently, but I could maybe invest in a new one if these tests/approaches don't pan out. Any recommendations? What specs should I provide to give you a better idea of what to recommend?

CPU Cooler: Corsair H55 57.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

This is what the BIOS says. I have no external monitoring software apart from CoreTemp. I'll check CPU-Z in a bit, but I also have a lot of schoolwork to get done. Not sure how to revert the BIOS or how to check the fan settings in the stock BIOS. Will do. The pipes are pretty thick, but I...

My motherboard runs Asus, but I've checked my settings and none of them are set to overclock. I'll check the pipes next. Question: should the fan on the back of the case be blowing cool air out? That's not a problem, is it?

I tried holding the cooler down and it didn't affect the temperature at all. In fact, I could feel it heating up in my hand. That's bad, right?

Interesting. I noticed the Antec Diamond was really hard to spread around with the spreader they included. I may try reapplying it if the above methods don't work.

DarkPaladin, no new parts in over a year, but the problem came up yesterday. Thanks though. Newb, it said 105 C for the cores. Considering I couldn't even switch Chrome tabs smoothly, I think it's a bit more than a possibly faulty program. Thanks though. BJ, I'll give your methods a try today...

So, today, my desktop was running poorly and I rebooted it to see what was up. First thing I see when the screen turns on again is something about temperature issues, so when I get to my main screen, I open up CoreTemp. All four cores were running at 105 C. I don't even overclock anything on my...
