Okay, I have been reading reviews on Newegg for this CPU and everyone says it runs extremely cool, like an idle temp of like 30-35 and a load temp of 40 max with the stock cooler.
Mine is idling at 43 and gets up to 57 playing games and 64 running a prime torture test. Why would mine be running so much hotter than everyone else's?

Info:
AMD Athlon X2 7850 BE, 2.8 GHz
Stock Cooler
3 120MM Fans
Cooler Master Elite 341 Micro ATX Case
Cooler Master 460W PSU
Asus M3A76-CM
2x2GB Patriot 1066
Radeon HD 4670
I am using Asus PC Probe II for the temp.
 
My old 7750 when it was clocked at 2.9GHz was idle at 28-33 and with prime I was getting 63ish also when running say video I was getting 35-45 that was stock cooled with a 80mm fan on rear (out) and 80mm fan on front (in) but then suppose also depends what your room temeprature is and where your from etc, im sure as long as its kept below a maximum 68ish for short periods you should be okay...
 
to think that people were getting nowhere over 40c while playing games, or stress testing a 7850 on a stock cooler, is some what of a stretch. But it just seemes that yours runs hotter than some others for some reason, it may be air flow it maybe not, maybe its the chip. But as long as you stay under the max temp while doing the most demanding thing on your computer your fine.Max is rated at 73c, so if you are getting 60c on games, your fine, if you are getting 65c while playing games, get a new cooler/paste.
