High temp after AS5

I cleaned both my CPU and the bottom of my Heatsink (Scythe Ninja +) using Acticlean, and applied Arctic Silver 5, and now the I'm idle-ing at 58 degrees with a vCore of 1.36V.
I used the click-in-the-middle approach. It doesn't seem as if it worked. My motherboard is running at about 39 degrees. This was done about 3 hours ago.
 
It seemed that the click-in-the-middle didn't work well with my my method of attaching the heatsink. The click had moved and wasn't covering the center fully. I used the credit-card method instead and now my idle temperature is at 55 degrees (20 minutes after application). It's still high, so I'm wondering what else I could do to lower the temp.

Specs:
Core 2 Duo E6400 @ 3.2GHz
P5B Deluxe
Scythe Ninja PLUS
 
What was it at before the AS5? AS5 takes a few days to cure, so you'll probably see a good 3-4c drop once it finishes curing.
 
Unfortunally I did not run overclocked with the previous thermal grease (generic silicone). However, using the "auto" setting in BIOS I got an idle-temperature of 53 degrees. Right now, running at the same settings (Vcore = 1.3V) I get 50 degrees. It appears that my system is running hot all the time regardless of what I do. It does differ back and forth, but it remains high. Core Temp shows 53/50.

I don't get it. :confused:
 
The temp has just decreased 2 degrees after my last restart (motherboard temperature stays the same. Perhaps that's a good CPU-cooling method. :rolleyes:

AUTO on the P5B will raise your vcore as you raise the FSB. your vcore is probalby about 1.5v or so. check the vcore and report back.

You probalby need to set it manualy in the BIOS.

I measured the vCore, and it was at 1.3 volts. I never use auto on vCore while overclocked. This was running at stock speed and default settings.

What were your temps BEFORE the new HSF at the stock clock?
I have never run my computer with stock cooling.

My BIOS settings: P5B Deluxe - BIOS version 0614

Jumperfree Configuration:
CPU Frequency = 400MHz
DRAM Frequency = DDR2-800MHz
PCI-Express Frequency = 100MHz
PCI Clock Synchronization Mode = 33.33MHz
Spread Spectrum = Disabled
Memory Voltage = 2.15V
CPU Core Voltage = 1.35V
FSB Termination Voltage = 1.4V
NB vCore = 1.45V
SB vCore(SATA,PCIE) = 1.6V
ICH Chipset Voltage = Auto

CPU Configuration:
Modify Ratio Support = Enabled
Ratio CMOS setting = 8
CIE Support = Disabled
Max CPUID Value Limit = Disabled
Vanderpool Technology = Enabled
CPU-TM Function = Disabled
Execute Disable Bit = Enabled
PECI = Disabled

North Bridge Chipset Configuration:

Timings: 5-5-5-12 - 6-42-10-10-10-10
Static Read Control = Disabled

Hardware Monitoring (BIOS readings):
CPU Temperature = 53.5 degrees
MB Temperature = 39 degrees
CPU-Fanspeed = 1259 RPM
cVore = 1.312V

misc:
Running Cinebench xCPU rendering 3 times in a row raises CPU temperature by 5 degrees.
Orthos stess test (Large) fails.
Room temperature = 24 degrees.
 
I'm running my E6300 at 3.1GHZ (450 FSB), on stock voltage. Perfectly stable and seems to be able to go higher.

However, my temperature is about 48deg C in Easytune, and in CoreTemp it is about 62-63 deg.

Should I be worried? I am using a Asus V-Nardo cpu cooler, 2 case fans
 
If your Orthos test fails, you're obviously not stable, and the heat is too high.

How long does it take for Orthos to error?

It failed just after starting the test (a second or two), and yes I know my temperatures are too high. That was kind of the point with this thread.

I was thinking that a new case might lower the motherboard and CPU temperatures, any tips? How much does the choice of case influence CPU and motherboard temps?
