Ever since I bought the X2 4200+ with Asus A8N32-SLI mobo the CPU has always been running hot compared to what other people posted. Today I have installed watercooling and my temps still seem to be very high. On idle at 2.5GHz it's 36C (core temp) and on load it goes up to 47C (core temp). I've seen quite a lot of people posting their temps in mid 20s for the same CPU.
When I was running my sytem on air using Cool & Quiet at 1.1GHz idle the temp was 36C and 51 on load (2.4GHz).
What might be the reason for these temps? Is my room hotter than everyone elses? Temps do drop a few degrees when I open the window but I don't think they will drop below 30C.
