Major Problem with E8500 at stock.

thanks for the replies i seemed to put to little paste.. i added some more and now idles 38 C although i think its stuck at that and never goes lower.

still seems high for idle.
but not way off like the 50+ temps.

how well does your case cool?

Antec 1200 has alot of fans.. 6 x 120mm 1 x 200mm. Video card fan, PSU Fan and Heatsink fan. My room isnt really that hot. Has there been cases where E8500 Thermal Sensors are not accurate at idle? Or maybe I should add more paste.

bios should be accurate, if not then i dont know what to say.

i find pc wizard to be very helpful, as its allmost a perfect match with my bios readings.
