Are these temps high?

[Giskhin]

bios shows me about 24 C or so at idle, but Core Temp shows me around 42ish.

I have the following

Gigabyte p35 ds3r v1
Q6600 B3
Corsair 520HX
Thermalright 120 Ultra.

Is 44ish a bit high at idle with coretemp? If so, should I reseat the damn thing? I didn't lap it, but I'm using AS5.

Not high at all. Normal for air. Try load temps with Orthos and report back.

I think the temps are within the ballpark, what case do you have and what kind of fan setup does it have?

FWIW, I have a Q6600 G0 overclocked to 3200. Thermalright Ultra90 with 1-92 mm fan.

I am running it in an Asus P5K--VM with a PCDesign Labs QMicra V2. The case has 3-120 mm fans set up to exhaust and I have the CPU cooler blowing out the side.

Room temp (~23C)

CPU Idle temp (~33C)

CPU Load temp (~42C).

Case ventilation FTW.

I'm running an antec 900 case. Mind you, I'm using a Thermalright ultra 120 with the fan blowing straight up from beneath the heatsink so that the 200 mm fan can suck the hot air out.

PCClark99, do you have a B3 or a G0? Are your temps posted from coretemp? Once in awhile, even at just 2.7 Ghz, I get a blue screen, but it appears to be a driver issue. I tried 3.0 Ghz, but that was not stable with stock voltage. When I put the voltage to auto, it seemed stable.

But that temp seems high to me, compared to what others have posted.

That's sounds about right.
I have a Q6600 G0 @ stock speeds on a P35 DS3R under a Scythe Ninja w/ a 120mm SilenX Fan. Core temp under full load varies between 48-52C. Idle temps are 33C for cores #1 and 2, and 35C for cores #0 and 3. Case is a P180B and themal paste is Shin Etsu ( I forget which one though).

I'm getting 42-43c idling on my Q6600 G0 using stock heatsink/fan and in a microfly case with 1 80mm intake and 1 120mm exhaust. This is measured with core temp.

In bios, I can get 28c.... when I first boot up and everything is still cold. 🙂
