So I've had this CPU a while, and have a modest overclock on it running at 4.2GHz, but the temp readings are just wrong according to CoreTemp
10C idle, jumping up to a whopping 40C on full load. 10C is a good bit lower than ambient, and I'm just cooling it on a CM212 with a single fan (the one that came with it, at that)
Thoughts?
Edit: BIOS reports 29C idle which is probably accurate, but makes testing temps during actual use kind of difficult. And also I'm curious if the CPU fan controller is reading what the BIOS says, or reading whatever CoreTemp is reading, and kicking the fan speed up later than it should.
I've noticed that when the system is idle, the CPU fan will pulse but generally stay off. It will kick on, for a half a second, then completely stop for two seconds or so before repeating. However, the heatsink itself doesn't even feel warm when this is happening.
