hi all need some advice. I've had my E8400 for awhile now and i'm considering overclocking it but after doing some standard checks i was somewhat surprised at its current operating temperature.
Lian Li PC60 Case
Asus P5Q-E
Intel E8400
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro + AS 5 (running at medium settings on the mobo)
4870 1Gb
OCZ 4GB DDR 2
etc etc etc
As you can see real temp reports
36C min to 59C max at stock speeds (thats after 10 passes of IntelBurnTest 2.0)
my question is Shouldn't a 45nm CPU run alittle cooler than that? Or am in the right ballpark temps wise? Thanks in advance for feedback...

) and the air flow from front to rear is very good which is reflected in the motherboards temp of 35C, strangely enough pc probe 2 reports the cpu idling at 30C (shrug). Even if i run the front case fans at max and the cpu cooler fan at max i cant drop the cpu idle below 36C (core temp reading)? Anyway i'm going to pick up a Titan TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir (on offer this week) and see if that has any desired effect. Although I'm thinking Clairvoyant is correct about bad idle sensor readings on these e8400's. Still a new cooler wont harm it
