Noctua NH-D14 temp problem.

[tuuupeee]

Hey, I just bought new cooler called Noctua NH-D14 and I'm maybe having a bit high temps in idle?

Processor is Phenom X6 1075t.

Can temps be right?

On stress test I went over 55, so I stopped test. When I overclock should I look Core #0-5 temps, TMPIN0 or TMPIN1?

Im confused at the moment.

Is 55C bad? I'm unfamiliar with that chip, but 55C shouldn't be bad if the CPU is getting stressed and the chip is overclocked. Core 0-5 are the CPU cores, so that is what you should look at in regards to what the Noctua DH14 is cooling.

Nothing wrong there, although I'm not an "AMD person."

Well lets say that max temp is 60C, so what temperature meter should I look at? I mean if I'm overclocking and I know that the max temp is 60C. What meter shouldn't go over 60? Core temps?

OK. Have you reviewed the AMD spec sheet on that processor? All that information should be there. Intel's primary spec of interest is TjMax, or the temperature at which the processor throttles. AMD would have a similar spec for your CPU, and it would probably apply in reference to the core temperatures.
