    So I was playing Mass Effect today on my 7811 sitting on a NXZT cooler and I checked my HWMonitor and the top ACPI temp had reached 98C.

    Anyone know the safe ranges for that or if this is out of the norm? Seemed really weird to me.

    Just the top one of the two APCI's? The TZS0? Mine never goes above 45, even during gaming.

    It was just the top one. The bottom one was fine and in ranges I expect to see. Like I said.. was kinda weird and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this at all.

    I've been fiddling with it some, and it might be HWMonitor 1.11 bug of some sort. I just can't believe that it's spiking from 51C to 98C instantly when I go into Mass Effect. Especially with all the other temps being fine. Might go back to 1.10 and see what happens.
