I'm OCed to ~3ghz with an E6600 on a P5B-E using a Thermaltake Big Typhoon for cooling. Right now, under idle, I think my temps are too high. Speedfan says CPU is 51C, and Core Temp says Tjunction 85C, Core #0 39C and Core #1 36C.

This is under idle conditions...is this too high?

I haven't been testing under load yet, because I don't want to fry stuff...heh
 
thats not too hot, but its also not that cold for that cooler, I have my e6600 oc'd to 3.0 on STOCK cooling and mine idles @ 36 and 37 in TAT, same in coretemp.. speedfan reports 10 degrees cooler, unlike your results which is 10 degrees hotter... I would highly recommend you download intel TAT (thermal analysis tool) to monitor your temp.. (you can also crank up both cpu's to 100% and see where they go.. mine goes up to 54C on 100% load over both cpu's)

what is your voltage set to?
 
Running TAT with CPUs at 100% I get 59/58 core temps for one and two on TAT, 60/59 for core temps on Core Temp, and 69 on Speedfan.

This is under full 100% load. Is that alright?

Idle has them back down to 44/42 on TAT.
 
Everything is perfectly fine. Dont trust Speedfan as its temps are higher than what it should be.
Tjunction in CoreTemp is the temp you should never reach at load.
 
I'd agree with keeping temps under 65... don't want to take the chance of the HSF failing on me... even though there's throttling, still don't want to run the risk, shrug.

Enrolling much?

Since ya'll were talking about temps...

I have a slightly upgraded hsf that i got from Comp World ( has heat pipes) the stock hsf and this slightly upgraded still gives me idle temps of 42/43 to 46/48 (core temp program). Is it the heat in my house? I see posts of MUCH lower temps at idle with stock coolers.
