Ok I got Intels TAT telling me my cpu is at 51C idle and gets up to 56C on load when playing css, then my NVIDIA monitor is telling me 44C and on load it gets to 48C. So which one is right. Specs in sig

TAT or Coretemp...they are a Digital reading taken inside the core....Nothing is likely wrong with the Nvidia monitor just that it is not given you a true measurement at the core...

basically dont let the TAT temp get over 85c and dont let the Nvidia temp get over 72-75....

Either way you are fine
