I have just bought and been using a new i5 2500 k for about 2 days now and the heat is to much. I have the chip oced to 4.5ghz running stable with 1.35 volts. I have a zalman 92mm ball cooler and from the reviews I read on newegg people say it keeps their chips under 55c tops. My chip hits 70c sometimes just playing a simple game like modern warfare 3. I have applied arctic silver propery two times just to make sure and that made no difference and put the fan to 100%. The case has 4 120mm fans so that cant be the problem. So I hope someone knows what the issue is. I am thinking that the mobo is not good or the chip is bad. BTW everything is brand new.
