I installed a Pentium D 930 in my machine but it runs around 50C when idle. It tops out just under 70C when running 100% on both cores. (Multiple video encoding, recording.)
It seems a little high given the thermal profile suggested by Intel, also I don't know what the power consumption is at any given time so it's hard to make a direct comparison.
Any suggestions? I'm using standard white paste thermal grease, not too much I think.
I have two 80mm fans and a PSU fan intake around the CPU HSF and I heard the Intel stock cooler now blows down to cool passive chipsets like on my ASUS P5LD2.
Would the outtakes be staving the HSF for air? Before this CPU my P4 2.6C ran about 40C peaking around 45.
Case is ANTEC 1000AMG
