i7 960 Cooling problem ?
Hey guys, I just find out that my i7 960 was running @60°C while in idle.
Isn't it concerning ? In the meanwhile, my Alienware Thermal Controller tells me it runs @20-30°C.
How can I fix it ? Of course, i didn't OC my processor or anything, and i'm using the regular water cooling system from my Area 51 ALX. Also, the computer is new so it's quiet strange...
I believe I can just run the fan faster, like 10% faster than the automatic speed, but how ?
Sorry for my bad english
Specs : Area 51 ALX - CPU i7 960 @ 3,20Ghz - 6Go RAM @1333Mhz - 2xNvidia GTX580 SLI - Crucial M4 128Gb SSD - 1To Seagate Barracuda - Killer 2100 Network card

The 60 readings are the chips themselves where the CC temps I was told here are the temps of inside the case.
