Hey, I'm new here and come in search of some answers. Hopefully you guys can help me out and put my mind at rest.
I have Intel core 2 duo, E7400 It was over-clocked to 3.8. Which was for about 1-2 months. When I was playing TF2 a few days ago, I noticed my CPU fan kicked into full speed, this should only happen when my core temps hit 50c. I closed it down and checked it with speed-fan, and noticed the core was nearly hitting 60c. I crapped it and reset my CPU clock to stock speeds. The core temps never reached 47c before.
Also, I noticed my idle temps increased as well, around the 30c mark, this is running at stock speeds as well
I ripped my PC apart the other day, and cleaned everything. Replaced my thermal paste (AC MX-2) and cleaned out my cooler (Titan TTC-NK85TZ).
After boot up. my CPU temp were at 20-22 idle and my core temp was at 32. Which I was pleased with, I thought my trouble was solved.
But in game (TF2, L4D) My core temp reaches 50-55c. Even though the CPU runs at 25-35c
Here are two screens.

That's in game, with my temps on the right.

That was this afternoon, idle
The thing that bugs me the most, Is how my CPU temp is at 33 in game and my core is at 53. Even though each core, being core1 and core2 be at 40?
How can the temperature be 20c warmer inside the processor?
Could I have damaged my CPU?
