i have a core 2 duo E8400 being cooled by a corsair A70 with 2 120mm fans in push pull config. im using arctic MX2 TIM, my psu also has a 120mm fan, my idle temps are at 41c at stock temps. any idea whats causing this? cant overclock if stock temps are this high have used speccy hardware monitor and real temp and they all give the same results
my room temp is 70 degrees F
i ran the prime95 "Small FFTs" test for around 20 mins
max load temps as reported by speccy hardware monitor coretemp and realtemp hover between 43c and 44c HWmonitor reports core0 at 44c and core1 at 43c
just wanna make sure these temps are ok before i start overclocking my cpu
