Heya folks just wondering what other people's temps look like on air cooling for their new C2D's?
I ask because mine idles around 48C and I thought that was pretty damn high since my old P4 idled at like 30's C. Anyone else noticing this? I use a Zalmann 9500.
Speaking of Zalman, I used Arctice Silver 5...Silver says to put a small dot in the center of the cpu, the Zalman instructions said to scrape a thin lay over the enitre cpu...So whats the correct way? I used the dot in the middle and I hope that's not why my temps are high.
