Alienware Alpha i7-4790S Temps.

[avifish]

Hey, I recently picked up an alienware alpha with the i3-4130T processor, 4 gigs ram, and 500gig hdd, I changed out the hdd and upgraded the ram and cpu but the temps for the cpu are a bit high.

I installed a 4790s which isnt too much of an change in terms of wattage from the 4130t but the temps are usually high 50s low 60s idle and go all the way up to 85 when in use. I disabled the turbo boost so it stays typically at 80 under full load but is there any way i can make the temps better like around 70 under full load?

Thanks
Avi

Could it be that your ram puts out more heat than the ram you had before or that you applied too less or too much thermal paste ?

60 while under is good
