cpu on 100%

Yeah I mean honestly 50 C° is nothing. You can even run normally at 70's, when you start hitting 80's and higher is when you might want to try and do something to lower it down.

As for the drivers, you can either do it manually as n4n0 said or you can just go to device manager or whatever it was called and you can automatically update them that way.

 

I do not recommend this. At all.

 

Seconded. Remove the drivers. Restart your computer. You should now have like 800x600 resolution. Then reinstall. This way makes it so you know for sure that you have completely removed the old drivers.

 

I've run CPUs at temps well over 70c for weeks constant, occasionally for months and never had an issue. Core2quads, i5s, i7s.... never had a problem in either desktop CPUs or laptop ones. Ive Got a firstgen i5 computer that has been running at 100% constantly for the last year as a f@h rig. Modern CPUs can handle temps up to 90c with no problems. Over that, it'll usually throttle.... Depends on the tjMAX of your CPU. I have never worried about getting up to 80 percent of max rated temp for extended periods. But this is firsthand experience. I've had my newest i7 4770k rig folding every minute that I'm not using it since I built it two months ago. One month of which was on factory Intel cooler averaging 67c.

While yes, I do recommend you try to keep your CPU as cool as possible, and don't suggest that you should never worry about temps, I just think that people worry too much about minor temps. You can run it hard all you want...if you leave the clocks and voltages alone, then you will likely retire the CPU for newer hardware before it actually dies.

 

really, my laptop (since it was new) has been running at 100c which is the temp that water boils at, and Its had no problems. My desktop which I went overkill on the cooling, runs at about 40-60c so you shouldn't worry about it at all.

 

hmm thanks guys ill try to upadte my drivers and try out my comp!

 

If your cpu and gpu run on 100% usage I would say Gratz cause you have a very balanced system without a bottleneck. And 50c is good, you´re not going to damage your cpu.
