I have an Asus P5B Deluxe with an E6600. I'm running 333X9 with C1 disabled, Vcore at 1.2V, PCIExpress 100Mhz, PC6400 underclocked to 533. The CPU on speed fan is 67C and each core is listed at 64C.

I just took off the fan and applied some thermal grease. The fan is a Zalman 92mm Fatal1ty. It seems like its running hotter than it should.

Any suggestions?

Unless something's changed or Comparetti his issued a new version of SpeedFan that is known to totally accomodate your P5B, nobody around here trusts temperature readings from SpeedFan.

Look at what you think is the TCase temperature at 67C. The core temperatures should be 5 to 10C above that, but you say they show as 64C.

Download any or all of the following:

Everest Ultimate Trial Version
CoreTemp
RealTemp
CPUID HWMonitor

Also, your over-clock should not be a strain for that processor -- you're pushing it from 2.4 Ghz to 3.0 Ghz. Given that, I don't see why you've underclocked the RAM to 533. It would run 1:1 with the CPU if underclocked to 667 Mhz [DDR].

Did you build the system? Did you do the over-clocking? How old is the processor? I really don't believe the temperatures SpeedFan reports for you, given the CPU voltage and mild over-clock.

You could check and satisfy yourself that the heatsink is mounted properly, but see what CoreTemp reports for the E6600 core temperatures first.
