what game?
Cause I cannot play WAR(War hammer online) fior 10 minutes with out getting my cpu to get up to 50 C

WAR for some reason uses 100% of my CPU
and I am using a 2.8 Dual 7850 Black. Would OC but waiting on my new case to cool it, plus afraid to.

what cpu you using.

When your idling?  If so then check to see if any processes are hogging it up, use task manager, it might just be a anti-viro scan  ;)

Just might have a virus, or a buggy program that is stealing CPU cycles. Start up Windows Task Manager (alt-ctrl-delete, or, Ctrl-shift-esc), go to the processes tab, and find the image name with the highest CPU reading. What is it called? You can end it from there, and stop it from starting up when windows is booted by going start--->run--->msconfig.

Also, I would run a virus scan, also.

From what I understand, 50C is fine for an AMD Athlon II.

it is, but the thing is it jumped that high pretty quick and this was when I was tabbed out of the game too. But it stil lshouldn't be using 100% even when tabbed out ?

In newer versions of programs like Coretemp, there is usually an option that displays the maximum temperature the CPU has reached. I don't know much about AMD and its safe zones of temperatures, but I believe 50C should be fine...
