I see some people getting 30-34C idle temps on a Winnie 3000+ with stock cooling. Yet I get 36-39C on mine, using AS5. At stock speed I get that, OCed to 2250mhz I get about 40C.
What am I doing wrong? Could it be bad case temps affecting the CPU? It's a standard ATX case with no extra fans. see sig for specs.
CPU - 3500+ at 2.6GHz (10x260), Vcore = 1.54V
Temps - 39C, 53C
HSF - Thermalright XP-90 + Vantec Stealth
thermal grease - Stuff that came with Thermalright
To check load temps just run something that pegs your CPU constantly at 100%... a popular choice is a distributed computing project like Folding@Home, FindADrug, etc. You could also try a "burn-in" program like Prime95. Just run either of these programs for 10 minutes or so and see how much your temps rise.
