I did not take the heat sink off. It looks like the pins are pushed down all the way.
People on the Anandtec forum are telling me the temperatures are normal I am getting.
According to the post above me, my temps seem to be in the safe to cool zone. What gives?

I looked at the picture. I can make out that there are silver showing on the push pins of that picture
I looked at mine and I only see black. They must be down all the way
I ran memtest. I did 2 passes and I had no errors. It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes, testing both ram sticks at the same time.
Ram is not the issue I guess. I have not reset the heat sink. I will look to see if I took the plastic cover from the pad too when I do. Im going to do this right now...
im using stock everything. The heatsink that came with the cpu.
I have a Antec P180 with the fans turned on high. The PC is in the basement where it is cool.
I checked out core temp
here are my results from core temp
core 0:54
Core 1:54
Core 2:59
Core 3:57
How do you use memtest. I downloaded it but nothing happens when I open the programs. Do I somehow need to boot from this?
I used the stock heatsink that came in the box with the CPU. Someone said it already had thermal paste on it. I can try and put the heatsink on again.
Here are my idle...
I do not remember ever putting thermal paste on. Would this have already been stuck to the metal heat sink? In my mind thermal paste looks like gel. I don't know what it really is.
I looked at my bios and here are my results
CPU CORE: 1.24 V (AUTO)
CPU FSB: 1.2V
Memory:1.850V
Memory timing...

Im using speedfan
here are my temps. What temp should I want?
system 21 C - CPU 45C - HDD 36C - core 0 to 3 are 35C. These are the temps when im running nothing but the browsers.
oh man, I turned on a game demo and I looked at the CPU temp.It said 51 C with a flame next to the icon
