Hmmm, first when i brought the PC home and checked, the temp for the CPU was only 28-30C on idle, it was at night time.

After i flashed the bios to the lastest one (From version F4 to version F7), then the temp went up like 6-8C, and after i have overclocked it, it became 45C-47C idle at night and 48-51C in the afternoon. Not sure what is wrong if it shouldn't be more than 40C on idle...

I will test the temp when i stress the GPU and CPU with Crysis. Will be back.
