CPU/Mobo CPU Temperatures

Okay guys,

I recently bought a gaming rig an i5 one. I have the msi p55 gd 65 motherboard, and used the oc genie to overclock the i5 to about 3.4ghz.

Now, I downloaded realtemp, and checked the cpu temperatures. At idle if i dont do anything and check the temperatures its about 45 degrees Celsius. When I am running a few downloads and stuff, it gets to a whopping 90+. I have a Cooler master cm 690 with stock fans, and a cooler master hyper 212+ cooler.

I feel even at idle 45 deg is a little too much. i was expecting it to be around 35 at idle and around 60 when I was running something.

I play crysis and stuff, so i can only imagine what the tmeperatures would be.

Can someone help me diagnose what the problem could be?
 
You could probably get more help if you had posted in the OC n Modding section, but anyway, your problem seems pretty serious.

-->How about first reverting back to stock frequencies & voltages and check the temperatures then ? Also, from what I have read here & almost all other sites, everybody recommends OCing from the BIOS, not windows software. So, check the BIOS settings & make changes from there.

-->Have you fixed the cooler well? Also, did you apply the thermal compound appropriately ?

-->Check out MSI user-to-user forums Intel Core I5 & I7 boards for board-specific issues.
 
To one thing first.

Reset the System to basic:

1. Uninstall OC Genie. OC via the BIOS only.

2. Bring you system on stock. (i.e. reset the BIOS to default).

3. Post a screen shot of a full RealTEMP 'sensor test', with Prime95 running. (Two worker threads)

Getting the absolute lowest vCore:

This is necessary cause the default BIOS punch-in might not give you the lowest possible vCore.

1. Keep the CPU speed / FSB / QPI at stock.

2. Remove all CIST, Spread spectrum. All auto regulation setting. Not sure what they would be for P55. You can research that.

3. Start to lower the vCore in increments of 0.05V. And run the Prime95 stability test.

4. Once you get the lowest vCore -- and stable system, again post a RealTemp screen shot.

Post that we can move to OC. And update your signature.
 
OK so when I said overclocking, I just pushed this OC Genie button on the mobo. It instantly overclocks to 3.4ghz. I didnt modify anything in the bios. The mobo has a chip that overclocks.

Now I downloaded and ran prime95 and ran the maximum power consumption, maximum heat test. After just 50 seconds real temp showed a whopping 100C. The thermal status for all cores were HOT. This was at about 40 percent load.

I am not sure where the problem is. Even before overclocking at stock speed real temp used to show almost 70deg at times with about 10 percent load.

Needless to say I shutdown the pc lol and am posting from my laptop.

just a thought was the heatsink installation done properly, also what thermal compound did you use. maybe redoing it might help cooling the temp. also the cm690 has two fan bays on top of the case and one more bay at the bottom adding fans here really helps, it brought down temps in my pc on my cpu about 4c at iddle.

just make sure the bottom one is intake and top two or outake .

Did you follow the absolute steps I mentioned.
 
replace tht paste dude and rest Bios stock.
Tht stock paste was not so good. U can Cm TIM for 160RS in bangalore
or go For artic silver MX2. I have seen differnce of upto 5C between thes two pastes
