I just put together my e6600 system using a big typhoon vx cooler and AS5, and was wondering if the temps i am getting seem right. When running orthos, TAT shows between 58-63C and when idle it shows 43. This is with an o/c to 3.2ghz. Does this seem right? I had read that the AS5 takes a week to cure but i would like to see 5-7C less than what i am getting at this meager of an o/c. Any info or advice?
 
It's on the high end of perfect. Right on the dot for an 3.2 air OC would be closer to 55c.

What's your Vcore setting? Can you drop it any?
 
Vcore is only 1.35. Couldn't do 3.2 at stock...All other voltages are stock except for memory which i had to bump from 2.2 to 2.28 because i was getting errors in memtest. My ram is set to 667 which with the FSB o/c gives me 893mhz. It is super talent ram rated at 800mhz so it is pushing the envelope at these 4x4x3x8 timings i think at that speed. I'm going to let memtest run tonight and see if it comes back clean or else I'm going to have to run it at 1:1 at 712mhz :/

I turned up my case fans a bit and it seems to have dropped the temps by 2 degrees or so. When gaming i am at 55 solid, but when orthos kicks in it hits 60-62 from time to time and then drops to 58.
 
Another question, what is the best app to use to get accurate cpu temps? TAT tells me 41 idle but the intel desktop utils and the intel desktop control center give readings 10 degrees higher than that. TAT gives digital temp readings while the other two give cpu zone readings. Which is correct? If the ones that give 10 degree higher ratings are correct then there is really something wrong.
