I was at my friends place helping him with computer troubles and I installed MBM5 and saw that his CPU temp was 86 degrees so I immediately shut it down and opened up the case and saw that the heatsink was clogged with tons of dust so we cleaned it all out and now he idles at about 61 (load is like 66-67).
First of all I was wondering what is considered normal temperature (not the most it can handle just what's common with stock heatsink)
Second of all I was wondering at what temperature it starts to throttle itself.
Third of all when I tested load temps after we cleaned the heatsink I ran prime95 and for some reason it would only hit 50-55% in the performance tab of the task manager but in RMclock it showed cpu utilization at 100% and OS load at about 50-55%, what does this mean could this be some sort of throttling?
Last but not least, what kind of temps could I expect with a Scythe ninja, Scythe katana or the Arctic cooling Freezer 4, or any other suggestions you may have preferably under $30
