| 1402094 | 2015-06-05 22:22:00 | I downloaded Intel Extreme tuning utility and performed a CPU stress test and notice that my CPU temperature goes up to 80 ~ 90 C I removed the stock heat-sink and fan, cleaned the thermal paste and reapplied, reseated the heatsink and fan, ran the stress test again with same temperature results. Is the temperature far too high? What can I do other than getting another cooler? |

It will shut down when junction temperature exceeds the maximum allowable (probably around 100C), after all you are carrying out a stress test and it hasn't shut down...........ergo it is OK :) :banana Edit: Try again in the middle of summer ! |

The hyper 212 evo comes to mind, there are of course many better options but it's one of the best "bang for buck" coolers. |
