Well, that was back when it was new. There's now a big layer of dust covering the fan(that I'm too lazy to remove. Haven't cleaned it once for 5years :D).
It runs at 48°C during Prime95.

I usually run 3.6GHz because I dunno.. But I recently upped it to 3.8 to make my RAM run a bit faster too. For some reason my multiplier is 6(according to CPU-Z), when it should be 9. (making my effective clock 2.5GHz instead of 3.8GHz)
As far as I know; that's a power saving feature where it "clocks" down to 6*FSB instead of 9*FSB. But while stressing it with Prime95 shouldn't it go with 9*FSB?

You have problems with BIOS settings then. It is power saving mode but it should go into full mode after atleast 3 seconds of Prime95. My processor is 1.6GHz saving mode, goes 4.6GHz after two seconds of Prime95.

Anyway I'm pretty unconvinced that 5 years old never cleaned computer has an overclocked processor running at 48°C after 10 mins of Prime95. So yeah, pics or it didn't happen :D

I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

As I thought. Full of BS.

Whats the point of lying about your computer temperatures over internet?

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

I can send you a pic of my CPU temps in power-saving with P95 running if that makes you happy.
I don't lie :(

Lol, what?
The power-saving problem disappeared when I rebooted. I didn't even make any changes in BIOS, and I found that the power-saving function was off already.

Btw, I never reboot unless I have to. I abuse the hibernation mode as much as I can :3

Run it for 10 min, print screen and choose something else like CoreTemp or Everest and then post.

OCCT is a pretty renowned overclocking tool. Look it up or try it.

Besides, those temps aren't godlike or anything like that. They may be really good, but I do have a good third party cooler.

I know OCCT, I still prefer Everest.

I seriously hope the second part is sarcasm(about very good temperatures). You have 50°C after 3 mins of Prime95, bennchmarked by 2 workers. Go for 4 workers, 10 minutes, then post the screen.

PS: The picture remains same to your newest post.
