This is not good. New Build. E6300 Overheating big time.

But that paultry amount in the picture isn't gonna cover bugger all. And I did say "thin".

your undervolting it which can cause damage.
the stock voltage for the 6300 is 1.325v but to get this on the P5B you need to set it to 1.365v in the BIOS to compinsate for the slight drop in voltage
He's not undervolting at all. Core 2's are rated at 'MAX 1.35v'. However there is variation between chip batches. The 'default' voltage will be based on the VID pins on the CPU.
Both my Core 2 E6700's VID's force my BadAxe Vcore to 1.25V, They overclock just fine at this voltage, yet if I want to push them harder, I can override the motherboard, and set my own Vcore, up to 1.35 and its still within spec for the cpu.

Why are you using mobo's sensors then?
Use coretemp or Tat to read temps, directly from the chip instead if mainboard sensors, much more reliable, also i noticed asus boards stress the cpu a little bit in bios, like 20%, as temp is always a bit higher in bios than in windows on my chip...
Also i dont think its possible for a chip to get more hot on one mainboard than the other, unless it gets more voltage or runs faster: all depends on sensors i think...

TAT is the same dude . .snowdog said:
Volts are stock!
I would get a decent cooler tbh i had the freezer 7 pro which was a good cooler just i hated the crap fitting to mobo with it so i got a Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler which has a back plate you put on the mobo and the cooler screws too that much much better, @3.2 on my 6300 my temps were high 30's, i normally leave it at 2.8 all the time which is giving me 34c on the cores.
