    HeavenKinder, welcome to the seven forums. I would use core temp. Are you using the stock cooler? I recommend re applying thermal paste and re seating your cooler. Give your PC a good cleaning and make sure you have good airflow.
    Remember to use canned air not a vacuum cleaner unless it could blow not suck.

    Too funny...I just came on to the forum to ask about PC vacuums but this tread caught my eye instead...

    I dont mean to hijack the thread...but why NOT a vacuum...why insist on canned air?

    I will start a new thread if preferred
    I only meant ones that suck like normal ones. They may do more harm than good. But ones made specifically for PCs that blow air are okay.

    I have never seen "blowers" other than canned air...I have searched but only find the "suckers"...can you direct or provide a link?

    Something like this: Newegg.com - DataVac Electric Duster ED500- Green Alternative to Canned Air - by Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner but they are a bit expensive so it may be cheaper to get canned air.
    The vacuums are not common though.

    Something like this.

    Metro Vacuum MDV-1BA DataVac Pro 4.5-AMP Computer Vac/Blower

    With canned air or a blower you just move the dust and dirt around, you do not eliminate it. Using a vacuum with quality filters traps all the dust and hair. I find the Datavac works great, sucks up most of the dust and dirt, then you blow off what remains.

    I used to use 1-2 cans of canned air every month, even at COSTCO prices I was spendy, the Datavac is paid for in under a year.

    That has been my thought as well...but COMPUTER 0304 seems to think otherwise...I would think that sucking up the dust bunnies would be better than blowing them further into the works etc...i just dont know...and I HATE CANNED AIR!!!

    Because it may create static unless your vacuum is proven to work for this purpose.
