Hello, I was just doing some maintenance on my computer and I saw that the temperature for the two cores were 51 and 52 degrees Celsius at idle. Do I need to reseat my heatsink or something? Any help will be much appreciated! Thank you all in advance.
 
Cpu is running at stock speeds. No overclock of any sorts. Oh and I'm using a Zalman CNPS9500 heatsink/fan.
 
somethings up...
I'd try reseating and making sure get all of the thermal goop off of everything and apply new.
 
Thats what I thought :-/. I'll try giving that a shot. Just wondering, but how much pressure should there be between the cpu and the heatsink? Would it make a difference if it was tighter?
