Default Temps on a E6600

My stock E6600 is running at 42C idle/55-57C load, and 36C idle/50C load for the individual cores (according to TAT). I have an Artic Freezer 7 Pro heatsink and a Velocity Micro computer, if that helps.
Are these temps too hot?



The temp in my room is about 74F (23C), are these still hot for the ambient temps?

The load temps are high, pretty high... I would consider getting some new thermal compound, something like Arctic Silver 5.

I have the Arctic Freezer 7 and my E6300 @ stock runs at 32c.

Ok, I might look into that Thermal Compound. Would where I live affect the temps that much? (in Louisiana) Besides the compound, is there anything else that would lower the temps?

Cool, I'll try that too. Does the Artic Freezer 7 Pro provide adaquate cooling for the CPU? Also, if I get the compound the temps will be lowered to a reasonable level, even to overclock?

Unfortunately I don't have a fan right now, but just opening up the case drops the temps to around 50C.

Nate911, Download a program called Intel TAT, it has much more accurate readings!

TAT fails, it adds more than 10c to the real temperature
