So, answers to all questions here: - I'm using Coretemp v0.95 and SpeedFan v4.32 which report the same temp, as well as the same seen by AlAisuite, - I opened the cased and it dropped the idling temp only from 2 C: I got 40 C now, terrific! - I pushed on the heatsink for about 2 minutes...

Thanks for the ideas. I've to run for a longer time with the case opened to check, that's a good idea, I only did it for a few minutes. I bought my E6400 in December: may be it's part of the first bad ones? That will have to wait this week-end for flatness check now. Is it possible to...

I just built a system and started to play with all Asus Adjustment tools. I've built few systems in the past, but never OC them, so this is kind of new to me... I was surprised to see opening this Al Booster tool which indicates FSB that by default the setting is like x6 - 266 Mhz when idle...
