I've been told that Orthos pushes temps much higher then any gaming can do, of this is true, how much higher would you say that Orthos goes over gaming temps?

Right now it seems as if Orthos is really pushing my Temps on my Opty 165 to around 53-58

But if Orthos is the only thing that is going to get this high then maybe I need not worry about it, because if I touch the HSF it's just warm to the touch.

Any thoughts on how much higher Orthos goes with Temps?

THANKS

Orthos just pushes your CPU to 100% usage, only in loading times in games will push your CPU to 100% and then it is usually for less than 1 min so no need to worry.

My C2D E6600 @ 3.2Ghz runs at about 30% usage during BF2 (it depends on what game you run CPU usage). You can use task manager to report the CPU usage.

Orthos pushes my temps to high 50's, but in my everyday use it never goes above 50C, it all depends on your processor but I would say the difference between Orthos and Real world use would be 6-10C.
