Speccy is too basic for monitoring temps and voltages, you need something like HWMonitor.

Put your card theough it paces with Unigene Valley benchmark (free) and see how it gets on, Valley from here

aye, it was push/pull before, but, there was alot of problems in the middle restricting proper flow.

:confused: Changing the intake/exhaust direction of the fans would not alter anything, you would still have the same whatever problems in the middle.

Good/tidy cable management doesnt half help with keeping things cool.

Your RAM is reading 1.5V in the BIOS so leave as is now and see how things go.

Right, I thought I'd get it up on speccy because that was the program that I intially saw my big readings on, I thought it would have been more ideal to use the same program.

Hi Allan. What is the make and model of your computer case?

I have bought a temporary case until my partner gets me the case I want for my birthday. At the moment I'm using a CiT G force RGB. It was cheap, but is twice as effective then my old case for both cooling and size.

Once you are finished here would recommend you to open a thread in the malware section to fix this separate issue.

I'm currently doing my own scans for malware etc. If I can't resolve it my self, I'll get straight onto it :)

Edit - Spelling mistakes.

Hi Allan.
Is the Water Cooler emblem light showing over the CPU when running?
Just checking the water Cooler pump is working properly.

Yeah, my CPU signatures are fine, it hits 30 under load, and idles at around 10-14. The water cooler is doing a fantastic job. it was just my GPU, but I think because the PSU exhaust was pointing straight at it was the reason for the high temps. They are all alot lower now :)

That's good news, Alan.
My Maelstrom temps are similar.
@gus now has a Maelstrom 120-K for his computer. I don't know what his CPU temps are.
I have just ordered 2 more Maelstrom 120-K's from interstate. They do a wonderful job for their size and like the soft flexible cooler hoses.

This is a brand new machine, not yet loaded with garbage. The cooler looks to be beautifully made, fits the case superbly and is dead quiet.

I have to agree, Dougie recommended this cooler to me, and for the price, I was amazed at the drop in heat, the fan kind of ticks me a little, with it's increase and decrese in speed, but thats just a personal tick of mine lol.
