What's load? That's the important part.

It means the temperature when your computer is running something CPU intensive.

OK, thanks. I just downloaded prime95 to do a stress test, but I can't figure out how to work it.
Can you give me a crash course? Or just tell me what to do with it?

OK, I found if I go to options there is "torture test." If I click on that I can pick three types of tests. Which one should I pick and how long should I run it before I note the temp's?

That cooler master heatsink is rubbish and unless you have a ridiculously low ambient, I guarantee you are not idling at 24C... http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggIma...103-013-04.jpg
And is it just me or is the contact patch on the heatsink's base retardedly small? | |

My average core temperature (idle) before the switch (with the more expensive fan) was 22 degrees celcius.
My new average core temperature is 24, only 2 degrees higher.
| ya pretty sure your temps are higher then that. that is around average room tempature and w/ a quad you will never get room temp no matter how hard you try
