Hi
I am hoping that someone out there can put my mind at rest regarding the temps I am seeing with my new core duo e6300 conroe. My motherboard is a Gigabyte 965p-ds3p and I am using a Zalman 9500 cpu cooler. I am using coretemp and tat to take cpu temps. I turn my pc on in the morning after it has been off all night and check coretemp as soon as windows boot up and I get temps of around 33 to 35c and after a while it idles at around 42 to 45c with a tjunction of 100c. The cpu has been lapped and is flat as well as the heatsink. When using Orthos the temps go up to 70c. I have tried eveything including putting artic silver on every way possible but the temps do not change. I today tried the stock intel cooler but this too gave me the exact same temps as the Zalman. Do you think that I have a hot chip or maybe coretemp and tat are not giving me the right readings.
Thanks for looking.
