e6700 no OC, temp still high

[Stuck_In_Afreaka]

Good morning all, this is myfirst real computer i plan on over clocking so after downloading alot of the programs i have found on the site i ran Core Temp to see were i sat befor i started to over clock. My temps are 52 Core#0 and 52 Core#. I see that most people saying that the CoreDuo runs mid 40's on a stock cooler. Could mine just not have seeted correctly? I also see floating around the web that most computers thermal paste doesnt take full effect till at least a week in, could this also be a reason why my temps are so high? Does anyone have an alternate temp program i could check out? Thanks for the help.

If you inspected TAT closer you would know that anything below 80C is absolutely nothing to worry about if you are stable

Well, for once, what thermal paste are you using? They dont really "cure" that well, so after a week or so you'll normally only notice a degree or two difference.

Try reseating the block with some NEW Thermal paste, making sure to clean off the old stuff with alcohol first.

Hows your case airflow? Upload a case pic?

I wouldn't go too far over 65c Load... btw.
