hey quick question...I just assembled a new rig with a DS3 and a e6400. I plan on overclocking it but just wanted to wait until the AS5 cured and it's been a couple of weeks.
Right now I am just using the stock HSF. but the funny thing is at stock speeds I am getting 32-33 degrees idle and it never gets over 38 degrees fully loaded...ambient temp in room is about 72 degrees all the time. Is this normal or did I just get a freak processor. I am using TAT and Core temp for info and they both agree 100 percent on temps.
 
What is the ambient case temp? That would probably tell more than ambient room temps. What do you have for cooling inside that case? Number of fans and such.

However, that is DAMN low for a 6400.
 
I have 3 fans in my case intake, out and one side fan, but to tell you the truth I usually have the side of my case off 90 percent of the time so really the case temp should be ambient temp of the case which like I said is usually around 72 degrees and yes if the temp in the room goes down or up a couple of degrees so does the core temps....during install I did clean the hs and cpu really well with alcohol....also...anybody ever taking the hs off their NB on a Ds3 and reseated it with AS5?
 
You've got some great airflow going on. That most likely is the reason you are getting such low temps.
