Hey guys. I built my first hackintosh last week, and it all seems to have been running alright - apart from running a little too hot while rendering 3d or video stuff. According to HWmonitor, each CPU die was running around 40C idle, and 80-90 under load. I just swapped out the CPU fan for a Corsair H60, and now it's running even hotter - 50-60C idling and 90-100+ under load. The CPU Heatsink in HWmonitor has been showing 0C both before and after swapping the fan out.
I've had a quick look around but I can't figure out exactly what I need to do to fix this. Running Mavericks on this system (but now with the Corsair H60):
