Holy Cow... I just bought a new system and my CPU is running at 80C IDLE!
My set up is the Prescot 530 775... here is a link CPU
It is running with a stock heat sink/fan and 1 80mm fan. It is a 400watt "Powermax" PSU.
The board is a Gigabyte GA-8IPE775-G.
During installation the thermal pad got damaged, so I removed it and used thermal paste.
Like I said idle I am running 60-80C, and if I boot up a game it hits near 90C.
Should I buy a new heatsink? I found this one new heat sink
Thanks in advance..
