Hello. My problem is that my cpu "overheats" very easily. I tried to do a stress test with prime 95, and the temperature went from 30-35 to 85 in about 10-20 seconds. but when i play games it only goes up to 60c. What can cause this overheating? Specs: Asus P8P67 -m pro Intel core i5 2500k @ 3,30 G.skill 1600mhz 8gb Ati XFX 5850 Windows 7 - 64bit
yes it is properly installed. Now i noticed that all programs are showing different temperatures. Asus own program show in idle 26-35c Core temp shows in idle 39-46c speedfan shows in idle 93c And i was wondering when i statt Prime 95 the heat rises in a few seconds to 85c according to asus program. and when i shut prime 95 down, it takes about 5 seconds to go back to normal(=30c). is it really possible that something heats that fast up and cools it?
