I put my pc together this morning, downloaded Prime95 and RealTemps 3.2.
At idle the CPU sits at 40c and the mb is about the same. As soon as I start Prime95 all 4 cores shoot up to 97-100c.
Even at only 25% utilization the temps are all above 90.
I haven't done any overclock and have a scythe Mugen cooler installed. CPU fan is set at 100% manually.
I used thermal paste --- Tuniq TX-2.
This was my first build so I ready a bunch of articles and scoured Youtube for video on spreading the paste (I used the finger in the ziplock back method).
Not sure what to do. I'm afraid to use the PC!
