I figured out my CPU temperature problem. With RealTemp (the program I was using to read temperatures first), the readouts were very inaccurate and out there. I looked for a second opinion with CoreTemp and got much lower readouts, like over 20 C lower. Also, the Tj Max values are also different on both programs, which is probably related to the screwy temperature readouts. HWmonitor showed similar readouts.CoreTemp reads idle temps skimming the 40 degree mark and load temps are up to 60 to 65 C. This definitely makes more sense to me, as I usually see a 10 degree difference in idle temps between the BIOS screen and running Windows.This is also convenient for programming the small display for the case, as there is already open source code to use GPU-Z and CoreTemp DLL to read temperatures and send the information over a serial connection. I forked the source code to make my own version that will be tailor made for my hardware requirements.
