Alright. So yesterday was my big upgrade day. It's almost my 2 year mark after my last upgrade and prices seemed right.
I picked up a 8800GTS a little over a week ago. Yesterday I picked up-
Mobo- ABIT IP35-E
Newegg.com - ABIT IP35-E LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
CPU- Q6600 Core 2 Quad
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
Memory- OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB)
Newegg.com - OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
No criticisms of what I got, or could of got. I purchased those parts for my reasons .
So. Got home. Put that mean sucker together. Install the heatsink correctly (I've done 775's numerous times for friends/family), booted into BIOS and decided to check my idle temps just to know what it would boot up and idle at.
To my surprised, the temp read 46 C right away, and kept increasing. After around 3-5 minutes, it peaked at 50 C.
The stock heatsink is where it's suppose to be, i didn't mess with the thermal compound.
The heatsink doesn't feel anywarmer then it should.
Me thinks the temp sensors must be off.
Your thoughts?
