** OFFICIAL ** Intel DX38BT & DX48BT2 BoneTrail Thread

off topic, but you might be unstable with your memory running at 1T. i have Patriot Viper Extreme and it's rated to run DDR3 1600 @ 7-7-7-18 2T. the new BIOS lets you set command rate.

as far as your CPU, most people are going to ask if you applied your AS5 correctly and all that. less is more when you're talking about thermal grease. also, that Zalman heatsink you have needs lots of fresh air to work well. does your case have a blowhole fan? if not, you might consider drilling a hole and making one. your wiring is also a little on the sloppy side - clean wires promote better airflow.

that being said, your idle temp is only showing two degrees higher than mine and i have an Antec 900 case, which ventilates very well. i really don't think your temps are bad assuming your ambient is warm like mine.

EDIT: looking at your Everest screenshot again, all your temps are in the 40's or above. you simply have a hot case and probably a pretty warm ambient temp. your CPU temp is as good as it's gonna get unless you turn the air conditioning on.
