How hot should a Xeon X5650 get ? Using less than 25% load but the temps are pushing 70-80 C . Stock cooler and room temperature of 30 C . Seems a little warm for the load .

In a T3500?
With a cheap 80mm fan pulling across stock cooler and an X5670 on my T3500, my loaded temps did not go above 60*. With the W3680 I have now, software OC to 4.0 ghz it gets to 74*
If T3500
Which cooler do you have? the aluminum "V" brick or the copper heat pipe cooler? you need the copper heat pipe cooler with the hex cores.
Somethings not adequate cooling wise. They dont run that hot even in OEM solutions. You mentioned stock cooler but which stock cooler exactly?
T5500 with dual X5675's, a 980Ti, a hot raid card and 24GB Registered ECC DDR3: Both CPU's max out at 70 degrees C at normal ambients. Totally stock cooling.
The 920 actually runs hotter on average than the X56xx chips.Those crap stock Intel coolers aren't enough to cool an i7-920 at stock speeds.
ALL of those stock coolers of that design belong in the scrap heap to be melted down and re-made into something that is useful.
Intel has been using that design for forever now and it has always been a big steaming pile.
I guess you could use them as a weapon if you had nothing else. Those "fins" hitting you in the face with the weight of the rest of the cooler would certainly not feel very good.

I can back up this claim, the i7 920 I had in the day definitely ran hotter than the x5675's in my Dell.
It's pretty straight forward.Did they have the same cooler? What about airflow through the case? Not saying it isn't true, but unless the systems were exactly the same, including motherboard and power supply, the only difference being the CPU, then it is not really a valid claim.
Still, those gay Intel stock coolers are total crap.
