CPU Overheating problem.Please help !! [ Solved ]
After a fresh installation of Mavericks, I installed FakeSMC Plugins sensor and HWmonitor.app from Multibeast (Latest one ) so that I can monitor the cpu temp. But what I see was the temp was getting higher and my CPU fan was turning slowly. normally if I just browsing the web, the temp is around 55-58C . If I launch game, Minecraft, it goes higher 79-86 ( or even higher ). My previous hackintosh wasn't that hot ( same CPU but motherboard ).
If I remove FakeSMC Plugins, run kext utility, reboot, I can't see CPU temp but only HDD temp. But this time, my CPU fan was turning real fast and louder than before...
Please help

If you have the problem same as mine, even though you have applied the thermal paste, then you should change a new CPU cooler ( Don't use the stock one. ) If possible, take out the side cover of your case to let fresh air go through. ( Sorry, bad English )
Now my Hackintosh works like my previous one. Below 50 degrees when idling. About 50 - 60 when playing Minecraft ( The only game in my system )
Anyway, thanks everyone
