For laptops, anything over 50 will fry your hardware after long periods of time.
Desktops, 60.
[quote=CrayonScribble]That's standard for stock cooling. Nothing to worry about.[/quote]
Thanks.
[quote=Instinct]Derp, I meant which type of i7. Anyway, @ 85-90%, thats fine for probably all i7 CPU's.
Also, exactly how do you reach 85-90% usage in the first place?[/quote]
dxdiag say intel core i7 960 @ 3.20GHZ(8 cPUs)
I used an OCR software on a scanned document I have and it also happened when I opened several flash animation file in browser.
[quote=4sunn24]Then that's fine. Might want to invest in an aftermarket heatsink. It's not really good to leave a CPU running at those temps for long periods of time.[/quote]
I'll think about it.
[quote=patrickpi666]No, it's at around 85-90% usage. Look at above post for CPU.[/quote]

[quote=Instinct]Is this idle speed? Which CPU is this?[/quote]
No, it's at around 85-90% usage. Look at above post for CPU.
@Ethanol it's an intel core i7 @3.2Ghz
@linking Hi link I tried coming back to maple, but I got banned(unfairly) after 2 days. See you in chat.
Hey Pattar
That's pretty standard for a stock cooler.
