A64 3200+ Winchester running hot

[DisrupTer911]

OK quick question,

MSI K8N Neo2 Plat
A64 3200+ Winchest @ stock settings

Zalman CNPS9500 LED cooler

Silverstone TJ06 case. 120mm rans at full speed

Idle:
CPU 110*F 44-45*C
System 69*F 21*C

100% Load F@H
CPU 123*F 50*C
System 69*F 21*C

Are these normal temps for load and idle?

How off is the temp diode on the mobo?

I'm running the MSI CoreCenter as my informat b/c i can't get MBM5 to properly work with my board. Which one do I pick for MBM5?

Seems a little hot to me, my 3200+ Winchester is at 37C under F@H Load right now.

hmm, that's not reassuring lol

i think i need to reapply my Arctic Ceramique.

I just applied it last sunday.

and i wasnt aware of ceramique having a cure time.

I did the drop in the center then letter the heatsink weight spread it around.

should I try the smooth it out with a piece of hard plastic 'credit card' method instead?

My 3200+ "Winnie" runs @ 2.5GHz @ around 42c Load, 37c Idle...Get some AS5....It shaved a couple degrees off my Temps

My 3200+ Winnie @ 2.5ghz ran at 29C idle / 41C load under my XP-90c in a Coolermaster Cavalier (not known for its cooling abilities)

3200 Winnie here too, 32C idle to 45C at most under load, stock cooling
