is SpeedFan?
Just built my system and after a quick game on Battlefield 3 it's saying my CPU is at around 71C!?!
Surely it can't be that hot... I'm not overclocking. I do have the stock CPU cooler on, but have applied thermal paste to the top of the CPU.

71c is pretty standard for the stock cooler at full load. It's perfectly safe, you need to start worrying when it hits 80c+.

Check coretemp too. Speedfan should be pretty accurate though and it does sound slightly high.

RealTemp is another good one.

EDIT: Just had a look with Core Temp also... which says the CPU is about 40C, I'm guessing that SpeedFan could be wrong here?Last edited by Andys; 05-01-2012 at 08:12 PM.

Try CPUID HWMonitor usually always exact temps for me.
