Just fitted all my new parts together today, running a gigabyte p35 ds3p, e6400 and bought a AC7 cooler, i am using the preapllied paste, i also had to reseat once, so i no ive probably ballbagged up the thermal paste, its running at around 36-40c idlel, although im currently stress testing it, and it hasnt gone past 50 yet so is that any good?

Also one of my hardrives is apprently running at 50c, and has a little flame icon next to it in speed fan, is this normal?

Also temp 2 in speed fan, not sure what it is, system temp? is running very hot (56-60 whilst running prime95)

cheers
 
ps: Everything is running at stock atm, im going to be overclocking my e6400 tonight or tommorow to about 2.6-2.8, what should i put the fsb to?
 
I would check by comparing with alternative software.

I use CoreTemp and Everest to monitor temps and also use CPUz.

Everest will also give you the temps of the HDD's.

If you are going to overclock I wouldn't rely solely on Speedfan.
 
yeah it just comes up with a driver pop up, i think tommorow i need to take off the AC7, remove the thermal paste, put some new AS5 on, and try again, hopefully get the ac7 properly first time and not have to reseat.
 
what stepping is it?

my e6400 L2 runs very hot. On water it runs 29c idle, 45 load. Now at 1.45vcore and 3.22ghz it's 55-58c full load and 32-34c idle.

I miss my e6300 as it did 3.22ghz on 1.35vcore and ran pretty cool :( gained nothing by switching to this e6400 except a lot of heat!
 
A Probe is the Only way to check temps Properly. Software Suxs the big one for temp reading.
