Hi,
I recently stress tested my system using BurnInTest software to check it out. Its a newly built system, specs available. During the test, I used the latest version of Fan Speed to monitor the temperatures. I tested all aspects of the PC on full-load. The temperatures on all four of my cores was up at 80 degrees. On switching off the tests, the temperature dropped to 40 on all cores in a matter of seconds. My scythe-ninja (rev B with 120mm fan) was cool to the touch throughout.
Is this normal? Feels odd, as surely if the heatsink wasn't taking away the heat, then the system would be above 40 at idle and wouldn't cool so fast? Yet if it is connected properly, why does the temp go as high as 80 and why does it feel cool to touch?
Thanks
