E5200 Running at 52, idle?

[daniel101191]

This seems way to high for an idle temp, i have an Akasa AK 965 (Socket 775) Aluminium with Copper Base Processor Cooler. had bit of trouble getting all the prongs down, but now its seems stirdy. Not sure any suggestions? regards.

there was pre applied thermal paste, and there is nothing between that and the CPU for def, maybe to little thermal paste?

thanks for the reply, i dont know how to find my load temps, on my last computer i found it easily in the bios, but cant see to find it this time. The cooler came with the thermal paste exactly evenly spreak over it, as if it had been printed on sort of thing, what should load temps be? =]

Case ventilation is good, build it 2 hours ago you see, and wires are nice, + fan at front bringing air in, one at the back pushing it out. I have done what you said, and i ran the test for 5 mins, i was using core temp to read of the temprature, and both of the cores, stayed at 52, proper wierd, any better software to read of CPU temps?

Hey thanks for your help, the combo is pretty nice, the motherboard is the Asus P5KPL - AM IN/GB

I cant seem to find it on the asus website, that exact model, and the one i thought it was ( P5KPL - AM) says its not the same as whats already installed when i try to update it.

ANDDDD

on your screenie next to the 2 52 degreesm is a high low etc, i dont have that, and urs say 52, so am i reading it wrong lol.


Thanks in advanced


EDIT: i dont think it is the bios, because the declerations and certificates in the back of the manual are from march 2009, so its like 2-3 months old, but there again what do it know? lol
