I just bought and installed a Wolfdale E8400. I had to flash the bios on my Evga 680i mobo (P32 bios update). I have used the stock fan, Arctic freezer Pro and Xigmatek AIO all wiht the same results. Nvidia panel and the bios show temps the same with at @ 62 dgerees C. I have googled this issue and apparently this is an issue wiht the 45 NM cores and misreported core Temps> I did a serch here with no results and i was wondering if anyon else has had simialr or the same issues. BTW....this CPU runs stable @ 4.2 GHz 1.48 volts unlocked. OMG! But it appeared be pushing 72 degrees at rest but I have no idea what my actual core temps are I'm guessing. I did stick my voltemter thermocouple right on the CPU at stock 3.0ghz and it registered 34 degrees so I'm thinking my bios is misreporting the core temps and I do not wnat to oc this chip until I'm sure what is going on. Thanks!
