Cpu running hot.

[theredguy]

I have a C2 6300 and at idle core temp is showing 57/58c when using a AC Freezer 7 pro that i know is fitted correctly because it has been reseated several times. Although my system seems stable and the cpu has been lapped i know these temps are high....would it be worth removing and redoing the heatspreader or will it just be too much hassle.

Cheers.

E6300-Thermal Specification: 61.4°C limit, so your idle temp of 57/58°C is rather high. Are you overclocked, check your VID Voltage Range: 0.85V – 1.5V do not exceed 1.5v.

It's totally stock.

Then something is very wrong! Check the BIOS settings anyway, maybe set them manually to make sure they're right. It might be worth checking the temp. using a thermal probe or infra-red thermometer as the sensor may simply be screwed, but if the chip is running that hot then there is a problem somewhere.
