Heat probs reported for Intel E8400s

[Shintai]

That's the point, some people are annoyed. As you usually say, % of overclockers and people that are actually worried about their temps is negligible. But for that %:

a) It's a bad contact between the IHS and the core itself. Intel must fix it.
b) The sensors are bad calibrated. I want them fixed, but I understand that most of the people don't care about it, so it won't have priority in Intel's problems-to-fix list.
c) They are really that hot. Intel can't do anything. This one is impossible though, because 45nm and low voltages used. The reason is a) or b).

You need a few more options in your list.

d) There is no problem, only with OC due to heat density.
e) Programs we use to read sensors are doing it wrongly. (Specially considering 3 programs gives 3 very different results).
