What is your cpu load temp? because 104 is not anything close to "overheating"

amped said:well under load it runs at 123*F
50*C...
Well I'm not to familiar with the max temp of the intel cpu's but I have a little checklist of things to check if you care to take a boo at it:
Check the following for overheating or perceived overheating:
- Is the heatsink correctly installed ?
--> Verify it is correctly installed.
- Is the heatsink filled with dust and crud ?
--> Clean with compressed air in a can.
- Is the heatsink fan operating ?
--> Replace defective fan with similar or better unit.
- Is the heatsink adequate for that application/CPU ?
--> Verify it meet the requirements for the CPU being used.
--> RETAIL heatsink? May require lapping and better TIM.
- Is thermal interface material used between heatsink and cpu ?
--> Verify it is used, and is applied according to the manufacturers guidelines.
- Is the TIM pad cover removed from heatsink before installation, if using supplied TIM pad ?
--> Remove the cover before installation, failure to do so will insulate the cpu from the heatsink.
- Is there adequate airflow or case ventialation ?
--> Verify airflow, add case fans if required.
- Is the Vcore set higher than specified by the manufacturer ?
--> Verify the Vcore is set to the manufacturers specification in the mainboards bios.
- Is the temperature read via the internal temperature diode. Is the tremperature read via the socket thermistor ?
--> Temperatures read at the diode can and will be higher than an external reading.
- Is the temperature sensor properly calibrated ?
--> Several board have this problem, check manufacturers bios revision history for calibration fix.
- Outside temperature high ?
--> If the external temperature is high, then the case fans will be drawing in hot air, especially during summer months.
