When is a !00% not...........

...........a 100%. Been doing a bit of checking the computer today after giving it a clean of all the dust inside, I thought it would be good to check temperatures ect so I put the CPU under load using Intel's own diagnostic program. I run my i5 2500K at 4.3GHZ and running the test which loads the CPU 4 cores to 100% the temp never went above 60deg, however it's a different story when I run FSX the temp goes up to 71deg which also loads the 4 coresd to 100%. I'm not to bothered about the difference as the the temps are well within the limits, just curious as to why there's difference.

Aye the weathers changing, much cooler at night now, I don't mind the cold it's the rain that get me . Funny thing about metric measurements is I use, Pounds and Ounces, Feet and Inches or sometime metric or both at the same time (3mts of 2"X2") but when it comes to Temp I can only think Celsius.

Cheers
