In the winter it was always between 42-45c, but then the house was usually a little cold, whereas the house is around 28-30 the last couple of weeks with the really hot weather, could that be the reason?

what is your cpu specs, brand name, etc

Did some testing today, my processors peak temperature is 71 degrees, I maxed out Crysis with a couple of mods with AA at 8x, it was running really slow for sure, but I carried on playing for about 30 mins, as soon as I quit the game I ran Speedfan and my CPU temp was at 67 degrees, and I never push the computer usually as I prefer smooth gameplay over visuals any day. I also have never overclocked and never will.

major:
I like program 'hwmonitor' cause it shows peak temperature, so don't have to alt-tab real quick.

If it came with that cooler, AMD does testing and that should work and keep CPU running at almost any atmospheric temperature.

Oh and if you really wanna heat up and see your max ever temps would be. Download Prime95 and run that. That will show absolute highest your CPU will ever get, way past any game will get it.

Well thanks for all the help chaps, little one is in bed now so I'm going to open up the PC and have a clean, I think it's a lot to do with the weather at the moment, it's insanely hot right now, I have no top on and sweat is dripping down my back. I'm also going to buy some new thermal paste as I'm using the one that came with the bundle, I have been told that it's probably crap, I'll also look into buying a better heatsink and fan as well.

Very cool program! Thanks!

hahaa wow! Do that on an AMD, shit will rocket out of your socket and slam onto the fucking moon making an AMD imprint on the moons surface!



Ok so here are some things

1.) Its AMD... They are like heaters in our systems. They run hot as fuck! (i got the phenom black x2 555 and with stock fan i used to hit 60c, now with a new cooler I hit 27c-35c max. You can look into getting this cooler http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2009/08/five-lga1156-coolers-tested-on-lynnfield/212.jpg
It is the cooler master hyper 212. That's why i use

2.) If you using the stock cooler that came with your processor (has the AMD logo on the fan) then that should be replaced with a after market copper fan.
3.) You should remove the current stock thermal paste, and apply Arctic Silver 5 to lower the temperature even further.
4.) How is your case airflow? You want a 120MM fan pulling air from the front into the case and one 120mm fan the rear inside of the case to blow the hot air out. If you have a side door that has a place to put a fan in, (maybe a 120mm or an 80mm size fan) you want to face the fan so the cool air blows into the case.

or be a bad ass builder and do this http://www.pugetsystems.com/submerged.php

I will go with Intel ivy bridge in the future and find one with vt-d support  Fuck yea!  Good luck Mark and I hope you get your pc cooled!
