Just built a new pc today with the e2160 cpu. Installed cpu-z and speedfan to take a look at things. I'm not too clued up but I think things are running a little hot. On speedfan I'm getting reads like this on idle:

System: 36C
CPU: 34C
Core 0: 42C
Core 1: 43C

And then running an Orthos Small FFTs test my temps are:

System: 36C
CPU: 54C
Core 0: 65C
Core 1: 66C

I was hoping to overclock the cpu but with these temps I wouldn't dare! I haven't touched anything in bios, this is a clean build, as of today. My mother board is Asus PK5 and my memory is Ballistic 2GB (2x1GB) pc5400. I've got stock intel hsf and a sonata III case.

Any ideas whats going on? Does it have anything to do with the fact it's probably about 30C in my room due to ambient temps?
 
Thanks guys. Just curious what kind of changes did you have to make to get your e2160 to run at 3Ghz? did you bump the voltage up to 1.3 and change some memory settings? Cheers
