The idle temps on my I7-870 w/ stock cooler + AS5 seems to be rather high.
Shouldn't they be closer to lower 40s?

are you sure you didnt put too much AS5 on the die? Could be insulating rather than conducting...
Buy a real heatsink lol. I use the Thermalright Silver Arrow with 3 fans. I idle around 80-90F when my room is around 70-75F. Roughly 33C
if you;re on a budget, grab the mugen 2, sometime, youll be able to catch a TRUE/MEGAHELMS for about 50...also, u can undervolt your i7 to try and decrease temps.
can also open case and blow a real house fan at it in the meantime
AND, i dont really know why people come into threads and talk about a COMPLETELY different heatsink while posting the temps. like, why? what's the point? it's irrelevant to the situation.
my i7 at 1.17 volts maxes out at around low 70's on a busted up Mugen 2.
The maximum temps were attained when I was running some benchmarks. Looks like I might be going with the 212+ cooler after all.
