I put my E6750 + GA-P35-DS3L system together last night, ran memtest86 for a couple of hours to make sure everything was OK with the defualt BIOS values, then installed XP to take a better baseline of the system before I start overclocking it.
My experience over the last 10 years is with AMD chips, this is my first foray into Intel-land, so I'm being a bit cautious. the cooler installation system for the stock cooler is hrrrible compared to AMD coolers, and doesn't inspire confidence.
With Orthos running the temps stablized around 56 degrees. This seems high to me (by comparison my Athlon X2 4400+ ran in the high 40s)
Is this normal for this Intel chip, or is my cooler improperly installed?
I'm using the ootck cooler, althouh I did strip the thermal tape it cam with and used Arctic Silver paste instead.
Also the "system" temp, wchi I assume in the northbridge, is reported at 45 degrees, again this seems high for a system I haven't even started to overclocik.
(by the way I'm running coretemp 0.95.4 so I assume the temps are right, and I *don't* have to add 15 degrees, otherwise I really *am* running too hot)
