My new Core I7 950 idles at around 40 degrees C and goes up to 90 degrees C in full load. It is NOT overclocked.
The Coolermaster Advanced 690 II comes with 3 fans. One 140mm in front, providing air flow into the HDD, a 120mm in the back and another 140mm on top blowing air out of the case.
Furthermore, I installed an extra 140mm fan on the left side to provide extra air flow to the video card (GTX 470). They all work fine. The mobo is an Asus Sabertooth X58. Cable management is pretty decent since I use a modular PSU.
The headsink had no manufacturing defects and was properly installed. My question is, how come my CPU is overheating in such a highly rated case which ironically goes by the name of COOLERmaster ? Are those temps normal for a Core I7 ? If not, what should I do about it (besides changing the case) ?
