Q9550 upgrade question

Core temps don't tell the whole story.... What's the CPU temp?

24 at idle, and max of 47 at load. Everest says average temp is 42. OCCT is anywhere between 40 and 46. Usually hovers at 44 though.

Sounds normal to me

Cool. I'm guessing they will go down a little bit after the TIM cures, as AS3 takes around 200 hours.

Core temps are a hell of a lot more accurate than CPU diode temps. I don't even bother to look at anything that doesn't read the core temps. I don't want ANY core to go above 65c if I can help it.
