Okay guys i got some more questions. You guys are really good at answering my questions and i appreciate your response. At the moment i am having conflicting temperature readings when running 2 different programs for checking cpu temps. When running Sisoft Sandra i'm getting a cpu temp at around 76 C degrees. When runnning Motherboard monitor 5 i'm getting a cpu temp of 40 C degrees and also a Case temp of 76 C degrees which is the same as the cpu temp in Sisoft Sandra. Can someone help me out here and help me fix this. thanks.
