Intel i7-2600 without K at 95C

[anonymous890]

So IDK why my cpu is so hot, I use MSI afterburner and I'm playing assassin's creed 3 at very high and high settings, no TXAA cause can't do TXAA in anti-aliasing cause temperature will go so much higher. I'm using the fan that just comes with the cpu, I tried getting the fan again and re applying the thermal paste and then putting it back on, nothing changed temp is still on 90-95C with 50-70% CPU usage, it even goes to 98C and I'm in idle right now writing this and my temperature is on 81C. Please help, what maybe the causes of these? please state as many factors as you can regarding with my problem. I use MSI afterburner. Also I'm not putting my closing case on, I have an electric fan facing on my system unit and I have no extra fans on the case cause I haven't got a new case yet. I have a GTX 1050 Ti gaming x with 6 pin and my mobo is P8H61-M LE with 4 GB kingston ram at 1333mhz. I'm providing as much information as I can.

PLEASE HELP.

Does the PSU has nothing to do with it? I don't really know cause btw I've got my monitor connected to cheap avr but my system unit is just directly plugged, not connected to AVR cause my AVR is a cheap one and I have a silverstone 500W strider essential PSU.

Please look at my pictures, you may find more info here.

What is your ambient temperature? You need to compare the delta, not the actual CPU temperature.

What is delta? And I don't really know what's my ambient temp all I know is the temp outside is usually 30-35C. And thanks for always answering, I'm learning alot from you.
I also think all is well now, I'll just buy a new case with fans and see if there are differeces in that.

Delta is the difference between the ambient and the CPU temperature. Your CPU temperature is normal; your case obviously doesn't help. You should use a case with better airflow.

Even though this is a marathon thread, I just want to add something: if you load temps are in the 90s with ANY CPU cooler under any operating conditions (gaming, encoding, etc) then

1. Something wrong with your cooler. Fan, pump, etc is not working

2. Thermal paste was done incorrectly

3. Mount was done incorrectly

4. Overclocking

Don't use idle temps for CPU. Load temps are what matters.

What is LOAD TEMP? the temp at 100% usage?

The highest temp you can achieve read using CPU intensive things. CPU stress tests like OCCT or Prime95 are good for this. Recommend using Coretemp to get your CPU temps.

Intel XTU also is very good and you can generate graphs that can easily be checked; moving the mouse over an area displays the values.
