[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1127650, member: 24160"] Have the same model. I've run it a great number of hours at 80-90C while gaming. Mine is beginning to show some of the same signs of the fans running at higher than normal rpms with fewer and less demanding processes being open. At this point, I'm of the opinion that it's time to crack it open and clean the fans. It's been a couple years since I've done it. If you've never done so, that's probably the first step I'd recommend. I don't run any of those monitoring apps any longer. But, I'd say this one has run in the 55-60C range if I'm doing anything since the day I brought it home. Below 50 is a rare occasion on this chip. Far cry from the 21-25 at normal and maybe hitting 40C under full load I tried to maintain on my last overclocked rig. [/QUOTE]
