That is a matter of opinion but not a common one, see http://www.10stripe....d/psu/brand.php
PSU brand issue apart you now have a good display correct!

Can you provide us with updated screenshots of both Speedfan and HWMonitor readings please.

Sorry you post again whilst I was typing :blush:

This is the exact opposite of what would normally happen which is very strange.
Couple of things for you to do 1: Can you make sure that the CPU fan has not been attached upside down so that it is actually drawing heat towards the heatsink and CPU as opposed to drawing the heat upwards and away from the heatsink and CPU, if you can provide us with the heatsink and CPU details brand name etc so we do some research on them. 2: Open Speedfan, untick the Automatic detection box and manually increase all fan speeds to 100, let us know if the temps drop. 3: Have a look @ http://forum-en.msi....?topic=109858.0 it will give you an idea of how to use Speedfan to get the best cooling.

please excuse me jumping in here but could you get gpu-z here...
then launch both cpu-z and gpu-z...click on sensors tab and put a tick in
continue refreshing this screen while in the background
pup them side by side and then minimize both...play a game for 5 minutes or so ...pause or stop the games and as fast as you can bring up both cpuz and gpuz and get a screenshot for us

No worries KostasPAP
I have been reading the reviews @ http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115072 and the amount of complaints regarding the poor quality of the heatsink supplied with such a good CPU is shocking.
If it is ok with you I will wait for happyrock to come back to you regarding the screenshots he requested.
