I have a Intel E6550 2.33 GHZ and when idle the tempurture is about 31-33 degree celusis. but when i play counter strike, a computer game, the temputure goes from 37-45 is that normal?
Hmmmm... That sounds good to me. I idle around 30*C, which I'm actually a little disappoinhted about considering that I've heard the e4500 runs really cool. At FULL load, I sometimes reach temps of 55*C, which starts to worry me a little. I'm exporting a video right now using about 65% my cpu and I'm at 45*C. I'm not OC'd...
Anyway, these temps kind of bother me, but you should definitely be fine. Also, thanks for specifying counter strike is a "video game"... jk...
