I have an intel i7 2600k and it idles at 45-46C, but after playing battlefield 3 for 10 minutes on max settings. it is still sitting at 45C, whats the deal with this? is my aftermarket cooler just really doing that good of a job?
this is my cpu fan.

Might try another CPU temp monitoring tool and compare. I use CoreTemp and it has a function to continuously display and update the temps of all 4 cores on my start bar near the clock in XP.

Do you have Intel Speedstep and C1E disabled?

Also I don't think your cpu temp will go up much, most of the times it's your video card temp that goes up while gaming.
 
Im gonna try out core temp just to make sure that my speedfan isnt lying to me. My guess though if it is correct, that my cpu fan just revs up higher and performs better when gaming so it actually makes it cooler.

yea your gpu is what you would really wanna look at for gaming temps. i think cpu temp would be something to watch for video and picture renders right? my cpu is always cool cause liquid cool but even with fancy cooling thing they put on my gpu it still gets pretty hot after an hour of bf3.
 
alright I downloaded real temp, and between all 4 core its about an average of 27, with the lowest one at 24, and two them at 28, the other at 26-27 gonna overclock this thing to 4.5 and see what kind of temps I get.

Run prime95 before you oc just to see if temps are being reported properly.
