When your CPU reaches 85W under heavy load, the temperature will depend on your cooling setup. At full 100% utilization across all four cores, expect higher heat buildup unless your system has strong cooling solutions.
Varies with the processor. The TDP doesn't directly reflect power consumption. The main factor affecting overheating is the relatively high ambient temperatures.
It's definitely not cold in here, and the cause is my computer. Because it keeps running nonstop when I'm not playing, it's warming up the room by several degrees. Still, when comparing others with similar coolers and CPU temps never exceeding 70 during prime95, I wonder if checking just the room temperature gives the full picture.
