e2160 running hot

[tornadog]

Yesterday I replaced the e8400 in my box with an E2160. At stock the temps were about 35 degree C. I tried running orthos and after 5 mins, the temps were at 70 degrees and it shutdown as thats my cutoff temp. Is this supposed to be getting this hot at stock. The 8400 I had earlier would get to 65 only after 5 hrs of testing at 4Ghz. At stock it always stayed under 50 degrees. I bought this proc since I was done with ocing and needed a real cheap processor to keep my machine running. But I didnt bargain for a baking oven!!!!

Reinstall the HSF. those are not good temps for that CPU at stock speeds.

Downgrading from an E8400 to a E2160... why???

really needed the cash. Another motivation was the fact that I hardly ever use the desktop pc since I got a laptop from work.

Something tells me you'll want that E8400 back in the near future.
