What could cause an excessively high temp at TAT Load?

[eojinlim]

I've encountered a problem on my friend's rig where he would idle at 40C with an overclocked e6400 and when he would load the CPU using TAT, it would have a load temp of 70C+.

That seems highly unusual considering his idle temps are perfect considering the overclock and the vcore (1.325).

Can anyone give me a hand in solving the cooling problem?

Thanks.

If he's using the stock HSF and his overclock is up around 3.2ghz then thats normal.

More info required to make a judgement

He's using a scythe ninja.

That does seem high with that HSF unless he's got some insane overclock.

I would suggest, remove, clean, reapply paste and reseat the HSF

The idle temps seem normal but why would the load temps differ so much from others? ill help him reapply but im just wondering
