OCCT

[Train]

Seems it can only read 4 a of 6 core cpu.
Other than that limitation, not a bad program.

OCCT reached 48C during test.

The case.

Should be good for a bunch of years now.

Yes indeed, that's one that I quite often recommend to folks. If a CPU can survive that test, it can survive anything

48C is a good result for air cooling, my water cooled Core i7 is only 10C or so less than that.

Says 28C then climbed to 48C during the test and yes, it is air cooled.

Yup....great program. I use that (and Prime 95 from time to time) Pretty much get identical results from both, though I prefer OCCT. Using a Corsair H70, i7 960 with no overclock. I think the max I saw on either test awhile back was around 53 or 55. I was hitting around 65 until I changed out the stock fans for Gentle Typhoon 15's. Those made a big difference. I know idle temps aren't all that important (except as an indication that your cooler isn't working properly), but try as I may, I can't seem to get the idle below 38. Got plenty of cool air coming into the case. I suspect that the two graphics cards were putting out too much heat into the case. Got new coolers on them now...will test again tonight.

End of a too-long response to this thread....thank you and good night.
