Sorry for a new thread. Before I attempt to remount my heatsink I was just curious as to what my idle temps should be at with the processor at stock speed?

Thanks
 
You left out a detail or two like information about your case, what heatsink are you using, cpu fan speed, ambient temperature, etc.

Run CoreTemp 0.95 and if you're somewhere around 50C then don't waste your time remounting. Save up for a better heatsink if you want lower temps.
 
CoreTemp 0.95 locks my system and gives me a bsod. CoreTemp 0.94 is reporting idle at 31C and after after running Orthos for 10 minutes at 46C. Is this good?
 
For your processor you need to add 15 to CoreTemp 0.94 numbers to get the equivalent in CoreTemp 0.95.

Your real numbers are fine :
Idle: 31C + 15C = 46C
Load: 46C + 15C = 61C

If you plan to overclock and will be upping the voltage then look into getting a better cooler but your present system is good for at least 3000 MHz with a few minor adjustments and you should be stable with default core voltage of 1.325 volts.
