Although your computer has not shown errors or even crashed, a CPU temp as high as your's is rather high. Most temps I have seen are anywhere between 50 and 60 degrees celsius. I would recommend looking into purchasing a copper fin style heatsink to dissapate the heat. At least drop it by 10 or 20 degrees. Yes, you system will not crash, but this kind of heat will shorten it's life. |

| Re: Overheating Processor At 85 degree's you will become unstable. AMD's don't like to be run over 70 before they start falling over. Could it be that you fan+heatsink have become out of contact with the chip? It might be worth reseating it and putting fresh heat compond (actic silver compound if possible) on the sink. Also, have you checked the fan is actually working? I know the diagnostic tool stated 4400rpm but it could be lying.
