Thats about normal with the stock cooling, newcastles run hot any way, get some better cooling.

if those numbers are idle, then yes its about 10c or more higher than it should be. It could be possible that everest is using the wrong sensor for your cpu temp....use another monitoring program, then run Prime95 or superPI, and the temperature that increases the fastest, is your cpu.
It will jump about 5-10c right when it starts..

thanks for the replies and yea..those are idle temps... T_T and whats another good monitoring program out there?

 

[tytlyf]

motherboard monitor, speedfan, smartguardian......those are the popular ones.
Everest is usually the best in figuring out the exact "label" for each temp, but sometimes can be wrong. Could in fact be your bios that needs to be updated.
See if you can report what the temp of the cpu is in your bios..

Ok, I've downloaded speedfan and looked for the temperature in the bios, they both show the correct values...also, is the voltage field in CPU-Z supposed to be changing from 1.488v to 1.504v?

 

[tytlyf]

that's normal for the voltages to change like that. Your bios temperature and your desktop temperature should NOT be the same. Seems you have a faulty sensor or something else...You bios should report 5-10c higher than what speedfan reports.
This is due to your CPU not being "idle" when in the bios. Your cpu is under load in the bios.

hmm it showed 49-50C in bios..is that fine? well, I guess I'll have to get a better heatsink in order to see if the sensor is screwed up =\\ maybe it had something to do with the gel like thing that leaked from the motherboard that I asked about in my other thread..hmm

thanks for your reply, nonetheless.

 

[tytlyf]

well 49-50c is high for the bios. You are probably gettin max loads around 55c then, which isn't too bad. I would flash your bios to the most recent one if you haven't already updated it at all.

ok, I'm going to try to update bios today and see how it goes. btw, will a thermaltake big typhoon fit on a dfi lanparty ut 250gb motherboard?

Edit: hmm it idles at 43degrees celcious..

Is that in the bios or with a program?

The big typhoon would probably fit, but you have to find out if it's supported on your motherboard. Most likely it is. I would head over to DFI-street.com and ask around for that board and it's compatability.
I'm going to say yes, but check anyways.

The 43degrees is from everest, and yes fortunately a typhoon fits on the board =D and thanks for all the help tytlyf, really appreciate it.
