Hello, i have a AMD 3700+ with stock heatsink...i am using ntune monitor to messure temps on it...i used arctic silver 5 and lapped the stock heatsink and used it...ntune messures idle 15-18 degrees C and load max i seen was 30...i was wondering if this was wrong or something because i havent seen anyone idle and run that low with stock heatsink...can anyone recommend another CPU temp program that will use DFI nf4 chipset board so i can double check it isnt the program...even overclocked to 2.5 idles 18-20and still runs low 30s under load...also i was wondering whats a good voltage to run these at to get good overclock :) currently using 1.5 in bios and CPU-Z shows up 1.440 Have gotten 2.6 out of it but when i run 3dmark05 it gets like artifacts during the CPU test but still comes out with better FPS...any information appreciated

What's your ambient temperature?
Any air cooling temp under ambient is generally false.
