A 100c at max.
Yeah, that's not goodYour shyt should probably be shutting off at those temps I would think. I guess not though. Strange...

you got a stock heatsink? does it look like this?
real talk, something is wrong, and that's approaching the temp where your computer will just shut down. blow some compressed air through your heatsink. make sure that shyt is nice and clean. I had a stock heatsink in my last build, and I had to blow the dust out every couple months to keep temps in check
i have a stock heatsink. i already cleaned out my cpu last week and everything looked fine. guess ill open it up again. i dont recall it ever shutting down on its own
edit: ok it just went up to 100 again and the fan went off so its def the cpu. should i just replace the heatsink?

No I meant it got loud.
I have no idea it seems to happen randomly even when the computers supposedly idle and not being used
not to just jump in, but you need to get this fixed asap. You're killing your cpu
I know but what do I do
do I buy a new fan?it seems there's something hammering on your cpu. you can use the task manager to see what program it is
yes, obviously.I know but what do I do
You also need to see what your CPU usage is at
there's probably nothing wrong with the fan though. it wouldn't be making all that noise if it wasn't working. the stock heatsink should be fine for an non-overclocked i5 (as long as it's not filthy). it might need some cleaning (or even a reseating), but I think his issues are elsewhereyes, obviously.
I don't know what would be using 100% of a quad-core cpu while 'idle'. that sounds like some "you better run malwarebytes" type shyt
or make sure your PC isn't running prime95 on startup
shyt shouldn't be hitting 100c though no matter what.

yeah, idk. the whole thing is kinda weird. I know haswell runs hot, but 100c...
Anyone playing the new tell tale game of thrones joint? Just pirated it, playing a bit before work, i love their games.
Whats a good UPS to get for a gaming PC?
Would a 330 Watts / 550 VA be good enough?
