I have Core2Duo E6300

My temps at idle are 51-54, and under load (not even 100% stress) shoot up to 63-6x+

I seated and reseated cooler for 10 times, checked the CPU and cooler surface, i replaced stock contact paste with more quality like paste. and still no improvement.

i read that the deafults should be 30-35 idle.

I overclocked nothing, all is on auto, motherboard is ASUS P5B-Deluxe/wifiap

Programs used to measure temps are coretemp and TAT.

My default vcore is 1.28v checked with Cpu-Z

HELP!!

I tried setting voltages by hand and still no luck, still high temps. Besides the fact that i have 0.4 vdropp !!!

I tested on another mobo ASUS P5 somethong with integrated gpu, and temps on idle were 30-35. (same stock cooler)

I didnt lapp IHS (beacuse atm its flat as it should be ) but i was planning when i OC this baby to shave few degrees off, which i cannot start beacuse it doesnt even work properly on stock settings.

systems temps is normal ~30.

I will probably RMA the board, which will probably be a huge problem, cause here if it works, its a big fight to get it replaced... but i am just buffled by this overheating.... and i will do my best to get a new one.

I've just hoped that someone had seen something like this before, because in my 8 years as sys builder i havent...
