Good morning everyone,
It's chilly outside (to say the least) and this is why I pay closer attention to the sources of warmth... or heat to be more precise!
I would like to ask you guys, what is the current temperature of your CPU during a standard working session in Terragen?
I noticed a slight FPS drop in some of my games, but TG seems unaffected. However, when I measured the CPU heat with the "Real Temp" program I got 90, 86, 90, 91 degree Celcius readouts in each of the quad cores. The fourth core seems to be impacted most, as during a rendering the "HOT" sign blinks on and off intermittently, which is not too good I suppose.
A deadline for thermal paste reapplication, which I self-imposed to myself, is due in February 2019. I just wonder if I should react now, or if I can possibly ride through the remaining 50 - 60 days with what I have now?
