Whats Up with these cpu temp. numbers, they dont seem to make sense. Based on other peoples reviews and my knowledge I belive that I should be getting temps in the 20-30C. I installed the cpu cooler twice!! and I reapplied the thermal paste. Any Suggestions? Thanks

First off are you sure everything is connected and working as it should? If it is there might be a problem with the CPU but I highly doubt it. The problem may also be that the PC case gets hot because of a poor fan configuration. If you haven't made a proper push/pull configuration in your case it might cause a rise in temperatures.
