[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1868180, member: 239"] Got a temperature monitor? If not you may be surprised at how hot the CPU runs even at no load. Unless you're a PC techie type you would be amazed at how hot a clean dust free air cooled CPU unit runs under full load. Based on you overclocking your i5 by 80% it seems likely you're using liquid cooling on the thing. Most PC users won't be. When's the last time you opened the case and examined the CPU module? If it's been a while I'd recommend you do it. Again you may be surprised at just how much dust there is built up on and around the cooling fins and in the attached fan. As dust builds up the ability to remove heat from the CPU goes down and your normal operating temps will creep up over time. Heat is the main killer of CPU's. Temp limits vary by CPU. Do you know what they are for yours? [/QUOTE]
