Q9650 Temps

to me is just dosnt seem like my single rad is handleing the heat very well i have one fan sucking air off of it and one blowing air threw it

!ender is right, your core temps look good.  HWmonitor is reading your system max temp at 107C and min. at 92C, has it always ran at that temp? 

ok thanks for the imput. the thermal paste like the mx-3 i tryed but it would never seat right for me so i went to more fluidy kind and  it it seated better for me. ya its always ran hot most of the time its with prime95 if i do occt it runs alot colder like 55 to 60c range thats at the speed its at now. in games as well it runs colder lots of head room thier,the most concern i have is stressing it and finding a stable point but i dont want to run it so hot that i  burn up my chip. if i use prime at 4.2 ghz with higher volts or course for stable ness it runs way over 70c i dont really know the max temp i could go with it before it burns up. i know intel says 71.4c but i heard people going 80c but that seems kinda high. A  dual rad might help me out some if i did that thou i would have to stick my rad on the outside of my case some how and run new tubing to it. i have like 7 fans in my case  three intakes 120mm and three exhast  120mm/200mm and i little one on my memory so a got alot of air flow. well i let my system run over night for 10 hrs and my results were this

The max temp set by Intel, is also TJ case temps, which no temp program reports. under heavy load, on a well overclocked CPU TJ case can be 15C lower than what the CPU temp program reports, so 85C on realtemp would be close to 69C-73C TJ case temp..

TJ max is 100C, T case a Intel rated max of around 70C  but the programs do not report it. you would have to remove to heatsink to measure it.. lol
