Is it running too hot? I am entertaining an idea of overclocking it but probably won't.

I dont think overclocking with stock cooler is recommended. CPU coolers aren't that expensive I would save up and buy one even if your not planning to overclock.

It's not a stock cooler.

What is Vcore ?
What is ambient temperature ?
Did you perform fullo load test also ? (Example Prime95 "Small FFT's" test).

The Idle temp is fine. Load, it probably hits about 70C? (assuming very good case airflow).

you lost me

how do I do this?

 

[GRABibus]

you download Prime95 on Mersenne site and launch a Prime95 in Small FFT's test during 5 minutes for example.

It is a test which loads and heats CPU a lot. It will give an idea of your CPU behaviour at full load.
During test, monitor your core temperatures with coretemp soft for example.

If you see that cores temps go over 72°c, stop the test !!

Coretemp here => http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
Prime95 here => http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/

all right, thanks, I will try that tonight.

Then ? Some results ?
