I just ran Core Temp, Core Temp . With a 0% load, my CPU is around 50C. When I run a program (started up Bioshock 1) it jumped to about 90 something. Didn't further than the main menu of the game either. Just watched the temperature spike and shut the game off quickly.
Could that be my problem or is that acceptable temperature for this CPU? (sorry if it's a stupid question, but I did a search on google and couldn't really get a straight answer).
The thermal paste on the fan and CPU is the stuff that was already on the fan. Nervous about taking the fan off to check, I was told touching CPUs is not a good idea.
Went out pricing multimeters, couldn't find one under 40-85chf (40-85USD). Will check again tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help.
