Im having some temp issues here.

e6600 processor
Geil 2Gb PC6400C4 800Mhz memory
Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard
Sythe ninja cooling
as5 paste

The case is a coolermaster wavemaster

Im getting temps with coretemp and intel tat of 38 to 40degrees plus on idle on both cores. Any sort of load and they are up to 59 degrees plus.

Bought the processor with a view to oc'ing but at these temps im guessing i don't have a chance!?!?!

Help? Please?

Reseated heatsink - cleaned and applied as5 as per web site instructions.
Ambient temperature is no more than 15 degrees

Thanks for the replies!

Just searched for lapping. I take it the aim is to remove the nickel from the ihs to get to the copper?

And these high temps are not all that unusual?

The only way i know how to skim is with a lathe or mill

Don't fancy trying that with my precious processor.

Just get the sandpaper out then?

Nice one, thanks.

Just had the side off of my case. Temps dropped by about 8 degrees.
Guess i found the problem.
