Hello!

Is that normal that its temp. is sometimes over 90C is? And its changing very fast. It rises or drops in 5 secs about 10C.

Shall i get a new cooler, or can be that the sensors are dead?

Thanks: Oryk

ouch, at 90 you are likely into thermal throttling.

It is not likly to be the temp sensor, so I would take a close look at you heatsink solution, fans and air flow.

40 - 60 is great

60 to 75 is ~ OK

> 75 is really hotter than you want.

I have fans 1 in front and 1 in front of the CPU. So i think it must be enough air flow.

There is a fan on the back aswell, maybe ill try to use that in spite of the middle one.
