Re: Quad core heading up

Ouch, mine runs (in use) at 47C which is around 115F I think. Is that too hot? I was told as long as it is under 50C it's fine and it's rated up to 70C I think.......

Re: Quad core heading up

116.6 degres to be precise. Im not a computer nerd but do like performance machines, Harleys and Corvetts......... anyway I put up my first build Intel Quad core , 2 500m drives, 2 gig ram and PNY FX570 graphics card. stress tests at 70% I get a warning message that Im at 10%..... I think it means 10% if heating scale left to go .... therefor its 90% hot......... teach me if I have it right, and is that normal or not???
