Just installed my e660 with stock heatsink and artic silver 5 thermal paste. Idle temp is 53c. Is this to high?

What are you measuring that temp with? Is it running at stock speed?

No overclocking. Stock heat sink. Asus pc probe for temp reading. Thermaltake tsunami case with front and rear 120mm fans with one side 80mm fan. Enermax liberty 500w power supply. I have been reading that others using stock heat sinks are getting about the same temps on initial install. Only fancy heat sinks reporting anywhere from 25-40c at idle.

I would think that 53 is a bit high for idle. My idle temp measured by core temp is 44C oc'ed to 3400.
cooled with tuniq tower 120.

Maddogatc - measure your temp with CoreTemp and get back to us I'm curious to see if it will report 10C higher than what Asus Probe does

With Core Temp the temperatures are reading lower than Asus Probe. Core #0 is 48c and core #1 is 46c while asus probe shows 51c. That is with dvd shrink running.

Core Temp is lower by 8C for me than PC Probe. And for what its worth my e6600 at 3.6 idles at 28C and gets up to 49C under load.

That's interesting. For me, Asus Probe will report the same value I see in the BIOS. CoreTemp will then usually give me a value about 10C higher than that :/

I have this exact same "issue". I've been doing a little googling but have yet to find any real info on this , just though i'd let you know i'm in the same boat. I'll get back to you if i find anything...

58C would have me worried, for sure. If it hovers at that during idle, it might run close to the upper recommended thermal limit at full load. However, intels stock heatsink and fan should run the cpu at safe temperatures at minimum noise level. While it might be uncomfortable to experienced DIY computer enthusiasts, it should not be dangerous.

If possible check the temperatuer in your case. If the ambient temperature in the case are ~40C, then 58C is not that high. It is pretty hard to make a CPU run at the ambiend case temperature (and impossible to get it to run lower than that on air).

A rule of thumb is that a CPU should not go more than 10-20 degrees hotter than the temperature in the case. If you have a high end video card in there, it also contributes to heat, something that is worth considering. If you are worried, and have an ambient case temperature about 10-15 degrees lower than the CPU temp. Try to optimize the airflow through the case. It might be a good idea to try to see if a dedicated fan pointing towards the CPU decrease the CPU temperature, if so you have get a better airflow to utilize the airflow better.

Also, dont forget to take into account the ambient room temperature. As this is the basic temperature anything in your computer will begin to work at. But I guess I am writing a lot of things that are unecessary on this forum, rife with enthusiasts...
