I did an experiment...my e8400 never budges off of 40c. Not load, not idle...cpu reported temp is 35c(not DTS). Again, this temp never changes.

Anyway, took my pc outside...-30c outside.

Chipset is watercooled also...

Chipset dropped down to -5c.

Cpu temp and DTS never moved from 35c and 40c, respectively.

So, i go back inside, let the system warm to room temp, ensure there is no condensation...

remove cooling, put on stock cooler....ah....


WTF!!!! DTS 75c loaded on stock speed and volts? CPU 70c?

BTW, my cpu has a "t" at then end of FPO.
