Hello Guys, Please help me out here. Out of curiousity, I ran a test to check if everything was fine. I did a short FFTs that run for 10 minutes without looking at the temperatures, when I turned CoreTemps on (after 10 minutes, when 6 tests had passed), the core temps were at ~100ºC, so I...

Download HWMonitor from CPUID website, and check out at what temperatures your CPU and Motherboard Chipsets are running. The thermal paste of your CPU could be messed up. Also, check out your fans, maybe they are not working properly. Also, setup your motherboard to sound an alarm when your...

It turns out that there was something wrong with the fans. The peaks now are much lower: TMPIN0 33,5 °C (highest peak) TMPIN1 50 °C (highest peak) TMPIN2 63 °C (highest peak) CPU all cores: 51,5 °C (highest peak) GPU: 62°C (highest peak) Although the hwmonitor shows these strange peaks...

Thanks for the reply. Although i forgot to add that i already have the 2 HDD, i'm not spending money on storage. Why an i3 instead of FX-6100? About the GPU, the other option that i have is GTX 550 TI which in the most of the benchmarks is worst than HD 7770 and HD 6850, which is pretty close to...
