Is this normal for an E8400?

Bought the processor yesterday... The idle temps are pretty high as u can see in the pic.. Is it normal?

That's it?? When I got processor, it showed as 65 degrees celcius but the heatsink and processor is cool. Give it a day or 2, let the thermal paste spread properly via heat. 45nms shows weird temps on idle but correct when on load. Give it some time

Are you absolutely sure? Coz if its gonna be like that then i'll buy an aftermarket cooler asap!! >.<

It can be highly related to ur ambient temp, whats it there? also, try using ReatTemp and see....

Core Temp is right, Intel confirmed 100C TjMax for 45nm Wolfdales.

I've got absolutely no air flow in my case.. >.< Ambient temp is around 30~ deg.
The 3 fans that are present are the ones on the processor, gpu and smps..

^^ that seems to be the reason.

Wel it is a good idea to invest Rs. 300 in MX-2. Get some more airflow in your cabinet. Is this the one with the latset stepping you were inquiring about that day? Blah it was suppose to have better sensors!
Run orothos and see what ONLOAD temps you get.
BTW Congrats for the new purchase.

my friend has the sme issue and its not becuase of the cooling inside the fan.his idlee temp is like 49-53 even thogu hit is not overlcoked where mine with the same setup is like 32 -35 !! so i think the problem is not becuase of ambient inside the case its is defiantely seems to be processor batch

tryong overclocking and see the temp it will go way too high !! i think its deifnately a prolblem with new batch of e8400

Put a after market cooler ma ... is it the prob wit the Co stepping eh?? didnt u get the new on Eo stepping ...

its cuz of the lack of airflow.....sidepanel fans would definetly help

nope not due to that !! we have tried eveything we intalledl ike 2 side fans in his chieftec cabinet one rear and one top !! but no difference its not the issue with cooling at all..

I have the same problem with my E8400. The temp went way high when overlocked. Also i have the Zalman 9700Led Cooler. Tried and testing but temp still the same. Tom will be testing each part again..hope to find some solution.

umm i hope the fans on the sidepanel are blowing air "INTO" ur cabby jus incase ...and the one at the rear blowing it out.....

u can never be too sure
