I bought an E8400 today along with a Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x2GB) kit. I'm uising my original Asus Commando just now until I can afford an Asus Rampage, I'd read that in order to use an E8400 in the Commando I should download and flash with the latest 1703 BIOS and manually enter the E8400 settings, this I did while my original E6600 was still fitted, when I fired up Everest Ultimate to check temps it shows CPU temp as 37 Celsius (I guess that's OK) but it also shows Core 1 as 55 Celsius and Core 2 as 45 Celsius ... is this normal?
I'm using an Arctic Freezer 7 cooler just now (will be buying a better cooler later) and its fitted solidly at all 4 posts, used Arctic Silver compound.
So are the temps as shown by Everest Ultimate for CPU 37 Celsius, Core 1 55 Celsius, and Core 2 as 45 Celsius normal? at the moment all I'm doing is downloading and installing Vista updates.
Thanks.
