I'm running an intel e8400 processor at stock speed with stock cooling. My temps were 39-40C for the cpu and 55-56C for core #1 at idle and the core voltage set to 1.15 V. Under load the temp would reach 58 for the cpu and 63 for the core. Are these temps too high?
I tried setting the voltage lower too 1 V. Then the temps are 33-34C for the cpu and 51C for core #1 at idle. This is a bit better, but I'm still concerned as I've heard rumors of processors having problems reporting temps accurately. I feel uncomfortable having to undervolt my cpu in order too make the temps "normal" but it seems stable. I ran it under orthos for the 13 hours and the max cpu temp reached was 50C for the cpu and 60C for core #1.

They do run cooler, but Intel made the stock heatsinks much cheaper. Go figure... If you can find yourself something like an Arctic Cooling Freezer pro. They are inexpensive and work incredibally well.
