Ok i recently moved my old mobo/cpu/ram across to my server pc. I have a Core 2 Duo in an Asus P5B Deluxe board (stock cooler). The BIOS is showing 80 degrees +. I didnt remove the heatsink and it looks firmly in place why the high temps all of a sudden. Should i install windows then run some other programs?

Bad mount job. Do again?
Even with the stock, you shouldn't be getting past 60c.
Those Duo's are pretty hot though. Even my E8500 is 48c average on idle under a Noctua D-14. But then again, it's over clocked and my room temp is pretty toasty.
