Hi,

Is teh computer crashing, getting BSOD system freezes, stability issues?

becasue if you are not then the temperature is fine. The CPU will soon start throttling and the shut down automatically when it gets too hot. I know what the official thermal spec say about the CPUs, but even then i have had a e6600 at 88 degrees and it still hadn't shutdown and had only just started throttling. The official max temp was 71.

hope this helps

Yep it is hotter than the core 2 duos and quad because it needs more power..130w instead of teh 95w the q9550 needs or the 65w a e6600 needs

if you cooler master v10, should not be like that. no overclock, right?
