Inexplicable Temps

I've been recently experiencing inexplicable temps on my E2160. It used to idle at 30 degrees. Now it idles at 48-50. I'm positive it's seated right. The IHS and heatsink are flat as they're both lapped. This happened before and after I lapped. After lapping I noticed my CPU was idling at 35C so I thought that fixed it, a few minutes after they shot up to 50. I have vcore on 1.41 (1.38 effective). Load temps peak at 77c. Why are these temps so high?
 
that means coretemp 0.96 is wrong then?

Good question. The guy who develops it says he might change it back in the next version, but there seems to be some confusion as to whether the tjmax on these chips is 85 or 100, and coretemp measures temp as a delta from tjmax, hence the 15 degree difference. There's a thread about it on the coretemp forum/bug reports.

As an aside my 2140 is orthosing stable at 3.12 ghz with coretemp indicating 82 deegrees. I hope its wrong, but its still 18 degrees from the max whether I use the old or new coretemp.(82 v 67)

I'd guess it is wrong, because other monitoring software reports the -15 temp, and thermal probes on other people's systems have confirmed there's no way that the CPU could be that hot. It would throttle, shutdown, and/or crash.
 
something to consider, my e2180@ 3.2ghz runs: idle 24-35c (depending on room temp) gaming: ~52 and orthos ~61. If i go to say 3.25ghz or 3.3ghz my temps rise a lot to something like 47 idle, 60+ gaming and 70 after about 2min of orthos (never let it run any longer). Maybe its just a bit too much for your CPU

What software are you using to monitor temps?
 
using speedfan. It seems to report about the same idle temps as the bios and also my cpu alarm sounds as soon as speedfan displays the dreaded 70c. I just stay at 3.2ghz so i dont have to worry about the temps
