Those are excellent temperatures for a QX9650.

Nothing to worry about. Good temps.

The temps are higher in FSX because it uses all 4 cores more efficiently than bf2 for example.

everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously.

I recommend Core Temp.

Like PBA not-capital-s-ydney said, there is CoreTemp!!!!!!! It is usually more accurate than SpeedFan, and it reports your VID, too!!!!!!!!!!! However, SpeedFan is a pretty decent bit of software, too!!!!!!!!!!

Also, there is no need for fifteen question- or exclamation marks after every sentence!!!!!!!!! It makes it seem as if you were shouting, which you don't have to do all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Are Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyway... I think that any temp below the melting point of the CPU should work


Mine usually runs around 40-45, maybe up to 50 C idle and in game

Mines at 53C right now, idle.

I'm blowing it out tomorrow. After I blow it out, it usually drops to 30C.

42C when gaming is pretty good, actually. I'm at 42C on Intel Stock (E6400 not OC) at the minute...practically idle. My computer has been on and been doing some work for nearer makes no difference 15 hours though.
