Im averaging around 70c-75c with my Q9550 at 4.0. Should I reseat my H50?

Ambient temp? Whats your Vcore?

Vcore is at 1.3625 in Bios and in CPU-Z it is 1.344

Ambient is around 66F or 19C

Ya I would suggest you clean it up reapply some paste and reseat it.

These are rather unacceptable temps for Q9500. Why is your vcore so high?

 

[shizdan]

Well I reset it a total of 5 times using Zalman STG2, AS5 and Shin Etsu. I pass intel burn test but im getting about the same temps!

Sensors ok?

Drop the Vcore. You shouldn't need that much for 4GHz unless your chip really sucks... I'm guessing you put it there because that's the highest VID Intel allows?

Now that we know your voltages and ambients... tell us which program you're using to monitor temps?

If its CoreTemp, make sure your Tjunction Max is set to 100C.

I load at around 65C with a low speed 120mm fan on my TRUE with similar voltages and ambients.

Well I dropped the vcore until it was unstable.

I'm using HWmoniter

I'm running intel burn test 10 times and It hit 81c and averages around 78!
