I5 760 + CNPS10X Performa = Very high temps

[squadz]

Hello,

First, the system:

cpu: i5 760
mobo: P55A-UD4P
CPU cooler: cnps10x performa
GPU: 6850
Case: Antec 300

The goal is a 4.0 overclock. At a 3.6 overclock, I'm getting idle temps of 40, and while using IBT, my max temp is 91, which I consider pretty high.

Is the Performa just that bad, or am I doing something wrong here? (I followed this guide for OC by the way: http://www.techreaction.net/2010/09/07/3-step-overclocking-guide-lynnfield/))

Any help is appreciated.

What's your Vcore?

Did you mount your HSF correctly?

Yeah, whats the Vcore? If its set to Auto, thats your issue.

My Vcore was at 1.3-1.35.

I'm going to re-seat the HSF to see if that makes any difference.
