Motherboard, CPU, RAM are all less than 2 days old. The power supply, SSD and CPU cooler are 2 months old.

Core Temp gives me 40C max core temp under a stress

HOWEVER

HWmonitor shows my "Package" temp as 88C under full load and my CPUTIN as 50C full load!

I am using a Coolermaster Vortex Plus

I do have a spare power supply but it's a 300W Bestec (Came in an OEM HP)
