There are way too many variables to really compare those numbers in a given moment. Was your system idle while Cliff's was running. What's you room temps vs. Cliff's? What did you have running at time reading was taken vs. Cliff's. System configuration, etc... You get the point :)

Yup I do, my room is at 76° right now, and I run my fans high, plus the water cooler is set high. I am also using less voltage too, I think. :) Computer has been on since 4:30am, its now 1:35PM .....but I get your point. My temps don't reach that high unless I am bench marking. I also don't run any games....:)
Actually fans run automatically ....set on temps.

1st thing I noticed in your screen shot are your temps.....47° for Avg .... Right now mine are at around 31° Just seems kinda warm. I do have 5 fans plus Water Cooled thou. :) and I'm at 4.9 also.

Mike you have said something like this before.
I multi task a lot, even then.
You worry too much about keeping the temps down below 20°C, where Skylake and Kaby Lake can go for days on end, running at 80°C.

When I was in Toronto you were way north from there but funny part is that most bad weather came from south an NY.

Yup I get that too Mike.....plus off the ocean.....its been one of the coldest winters here in a while. But I'll be complaining about the hot temps soon enough. :) I prefer the cool temps. 70's are just fine for me. :)
