50 Idle is very high. I'm getting strange readings from my CoreTemp.
Right now my Q6600 @3.2 Ghz with a Zalman CNPS9500 is running at (43, 42, 43, 36). My question is why is one of my cores so low? It's always like this and it's not always the same core. One of them is ALWAYS 5-7 degrees colder at idle but under load they even back up. I ran Prime95 stress test the other day and after about 2 hours my temps looked something like (77,77,76,76). I know you shouldn't have your temps over 71 degrees, but 100% usage over two hours isn't something that I do on a normal basis. When I play games or watch movies I usually never break 61. Do you think I'm running too hot or am I ok?
