cpu at 80 degrees temperature when load

[Venkat Krishna]

I have i3 550 on intel dh55tc with intel stock cooler and no gfx.
Previously cpu temp went upto 100 C during stress test of intel XTU. So I cleaned and applied thermal grease (www.snapdeal.com/product/cooler-master-ic-essential-e1thermal/2141233606) by dot method. Now (just after applying the new grease) cpu temp was 78 C during the test. Is this normal???
(External temp. was about 40-45 C)

Seems slightly high but considering the ambient temp of 40-45 degs C this may be what you can expect under stress testing.

You did right by re-seating the CPU/heatsink. Don't expect great temps reductions when using the stock heatsink.

Stress test temps are 30-35 degs C higher than ambient temps.

If under normal use the temps are below the ranges you posted you are OK.

Nope not normal. is the case well ventilated with fans? is the cables managed? is the cpu cooler well seated?. you might need to get an aftermarket cpu cooler.

Idle temp.s around 45-55 C

That's 10 degs above ambient which is normal. Just curious, where is this 30-35 degs ambient location?
