temps for x6800 stock with AC7 pro?

[Lynx24]

im getting 55 when idle and 67/70 load at stock, my case is a Silverstone TJ07
and my cpu fan is at full speed 2500rpm i think, is that ok?

Seems a little high to me. My x6800 with AC7Pro idles at about 40C, mid-50s under load, although this can push higher under Orthos, S&M, etc. However I did lap the base of my AC7, and used Arctic Silver TIM. It seems the x6800 tends to run a little hotter, but mid 50s to high 60s doesn't sound so great.

[edit]
I've also pushed my FSB to 310*11 to get 3.4GHz, with 1.375v vCore, 2.0v DDR, and 1.55v MCH. I think you should be a little cooler at stock with no o/c.

seems a tad high, but using coretemp your getting a more accurite reading - so to be honest its not THAT hot, maybe just take of the AC7, clean it up - but on some more thermal paste and carefuly but it back on should be fine

I use CoreTemp when I'm testing, and I leave the uGuru on the desktop on a high transparency setting.

I couldn't agree more, it won't take all that long. Get yourself some TIM remover and give the base of the cooler a good clean - same goes for the cpu - and don't cake on the TIM when you're putting it all back together a small bead of it will do nicely.
