Well i've got tat up on the screen now and CPU 0 is running at 66/67c CPU 1 is at 63/64c, Orthos stresses the CPU out a lot more that most games though does'nt it ?

Could be a dodgy motherboard sensor? I know old athlon boards were dire for this, you basically couldn't trust anything apart from a probe.

The only thing I can think of is if you've got it on silly volts or it's concave.

It's at stock volts, the cpu fan is this http://www.silentpcreview.com/article636-page1.html (Scythe Mine), I've just ran RightMark CPU Clock Utility and neither core seems to be throttling, it's 28.2c (82.8f) in my room so perhaps that's contributing a bit, Think I may wack this one on MM and get am E6320.

That's fine. It won't start to throttle until you hit 75-80C and it will shut down to protect itself at about 85C.

thankyou

That temp is fine, especially as it's a load temp.

85c on the E6300 is the temp you have to worry about.

Ok, so you may not have the coolest running C2D on here, but so what? It's well within it's tolerance.

and thankyou,

feel a bit more relaxed now, cheers.
