New rig just booted up, and the BIOS reads 35C for the CPU. It's a G0 Q6600 being cooled by the TRUE black with scythe. I would've expected these temperatures from the stock fan, but not this
I'm running a mATX P5Q-VM mobo, 4gb DDR2 ram, XFX gtx 260 216 black, and WD Caviar 7200 sata 500gb. It's built to be a gaming rig.
Is this too high a temp for now? Should I let the paste break it? Just used that new version 2 paste that came with the TRUE black (It was awful to spread; it was like cement!), but I believe it was spread and seated correctly. The True even feels cold/fine to the touch, has been running now for for 30 minutes.
Should I trust the BIOS temp? Let it run for a while and run RealTemp? Tips? Thanks...
