if you need any more info just ask
 
Those temps are high, but not dangerously high. What vcore are you putting into the CPU to overclock it ? Post a screen of cpuz main tab as it will be easier

His pic shows Max Vcore of 1.33V.

EDIT:
Temps are high if he is only using 1.33Max Vcore.
END EDIT.

Why did I not look at that !!!!

Yeah you could do with upgrading you're cooling as those are high temps for such a low vcore, also you're 960T is a BE with unlocked multiplier so you don't need to use the fsb/ht ref clock to overclock , just bump up the CPU multiplier :thup:

can you reccomend a good cheap cooler?
 
Tried and tested is the coolermaster hyper 212, it's cheap and does a reasonable job at cooling
 
if he is only running 3.1 he should be able to lower the vcore to about 1.3 and cool it some.
