Very high idle temps, Q9300 w/ P5N-D

Well, after some minor tweaking and oc'ing, the cpu still runs at 50C idle but ~61C load. I ordered a TRUE to replace the cooler and a couple of extra fans for my case as well... I'm still kind of surprised as to how hot this chip runs considering i've barely oc'ed it though.

61 C seems reasonable for a load temp though - it's entirely likely your idle temp measurement is WAY off.

 

What settings are you running it at now?

:withstupid:

The cooler is fine, an 11 degree difference isnt horrible

 

And why the TRUE of all coolers, I mean I love mine but there are better options for the money.

 

This cooler isnt king of the mountain anymore

I'm running it at 3ghz with relaxed memory timings. I ended up getting the TRUE since its one of the few that could do a push-pull with my case/mobo and performs pretty well.

How much did it run ya/where'd you get it from??
