So I just got a used Intel Core 2 duo e8600 today and it had some scratches on it but the ebay listing said that is was working perfect and it was a trusted seller that had multiple. So I installed the processor and cleaned the heat sync with rubbing alcohol and the cpu. I put a tiny grain of rice of thermal paste on the cpu and I then proceeded to put the heat sync on. When I was inserting the heat sync I kind of didnt put it straight down and so I think that it kind of made contact with the heat sync and then I moved it forwards a little more and inserted the cpu. I am using coretemp to see my temps and they are getting up to around 60 degrees celcius just using chrome and fraps.
Is this normal. I read that my cpus max temp is 72 C. As I was running far cry 3 it was getting up to 67 C. Can anybody help me? Should I clean the cpu and start again?

Yes try to install again. 60 degrees on just chrome is not good, it will easily go up to 80+ when you are in a game or something. Try installing again, a normal cpu temp on near idling should be 37 to 40 degrees not more...Every time that I install it and open it back up it seems that it isnt covering the entire processor. Would it be bad to put a dot in the midddle of each quadrant? I feel like that would really spread it through the entire processor. If not then I will put a straight line that will spread out.
