Highest I have seen on all cores in temp is 71 C so far (been watching it)

Just seen your above post ok will try that.. :)

Yeh I was on Blend will try SFT , how long for?
 
Merged posts again... please edit when adding before someone posts man... :)

Blend tests the entire system (memory and CPU). Small FFT is just for the CPU. Stick to that for now. As far as how long. I would give it a few hours.
 
Highest I am getting in CPUID HWMonitor so far is 72 C
Since I started it, out of all the cores 1-3 and Package
Is that right or am I looking for something else?
With just usual background apps working like antivirus and just Surfing Internet

So is that ok? if not what do I adjust to lower temperature?
 
I just run realtemp. The package temp is really only worth looking at for AMD CPUs.

That said, temps are fine.
 
If you get a chance when your finished work can you look at the screen shots and let me know :)
Stopping Prime for the time being as cant see any errors...
 
Screenshots of what I have before ending the 2 applications

tiny pic is 3rd party... but I can see one attached at the forum...

I see no errors there, but it was only a 3 hour run. I don't expect to see any, but most will say to let it do its thing for 4 hours.
 
Any way to lower these temps without aid of fan and just using bios settings :confused:

If not do you think its ok to leave everything just the way it is?
 
The temps are fine. I see no reason to lower them in the first place (as I said already :)). you can try lowering the vcore until it becomes unstable, that is about the only way without adding more fans/better cooling.
 
ok thanks for all your help and guidance will let you know on how I get on :thup:
