All temps listed from Intel TAT...
My temperatures aren't horrible - with ambient around 20C I idle at 42-43 each core, with the CPU @2.8GHz, 1.275V (right now it's 28C - no A/C - and I'm idling at 51). But the heatsink, a Scythe Ninja Rev. B, doesn't seem to get particularly hot, maybe a little warm, even at this moment with the CPU reading 50.
This, coupled with the fact that the core temperatures instantly jump 6-8C when I start Orthos/TAT 100% Load, makes me think maybe it's not making proper contact, but I've reseated it a couple times and am using AS3 (old, I know, but oh well). I'm using the 'stock' intel mounting system, that is those 4 pushpins, if that matters - and from what I've read this is the only method that will work with my EVGA 680i.
Does this sound like an issue with the heatsink, or is this stuff (particularly that temperature jump - I've never had a processor do that, but I've also always used AMD processors without heatspreaders) normal?
