QX6700 temps

[Atom]

i just hooked up my rig with a quadcore and the temps on this thing at stock speeds has me a little worried
the temps are in the high 60's in core temp and speedfan records it in the 40's,ai reports as the speedfan
now i dont know if i need a better cooler than this zalman 9500
thoughts?

[Okda]

try coretemp and report ur temps

also shows us ur system specs please

i updated the bios and cranked up the zalman speed and the temps are much better because it's cold in here in my basement right now.I dont know if it's still safe to overclock with these temps
I leave it to you guys to give me directions
thnx

Are this idle temps right after boot.
look at your -12 & -5 line in speedfan
Try using systool in Hardware Monitoring>settings choose IntelCoreTemp.dll

I dont own a Conroe let alone a Kentsfield but that seems to high around 45 in bios 40 in windows seems more appropiate correct me here people if needed

Try to untighten you cooler just a bit if temps are rising much you probably should reseat it. Assuming you are using as5 Akasa or coollaboratory.

After some research.i;ve come to believe there isn't any cooler that the drop the temps significantly on this chips so i'm just going to run stock until a better cooler is made for the quadcores to cool better
i spent a lot on the chip and a little scared frying it
thanks everyone
