That shouldnt be.
Does the stock HSF have thermal tape? If so and you used grease it'll run hot.
Wierd for a Conroe to run that hot. Your gonna fry it.
Is your fan spinning? Are you sure it's 82C and not 82F? (I'm not trying to make you feel stupid but it never hurts to make sure, you know?) Take off the HS, completely clean it, and the processor (make sure you know what you're doing) and try again.
Fine, you weren't spreading cold hard FUD... But the FUDness is there, just.
Anyway, I just saw a case in XS forum where one user reports CoreTemp readings being drastically abnormal from TAT and the vice-versa for TAT in another case.
So yeh, time to change the temp readings intructions in my guide (yet again). This time with both TAT & CoreTemp running then picking the more consistant one.

I dont get how every single thread i've read online about conroe temps say that people have been getting the highest readings with CoreTemp because it measures inside the chip or whatever. For me, CoreTemp has always been the lowest reading by far. Asus Probe II shows 41 C right now. Core Temp 31-32. this is all stock settings. if i OC to 333 fsb, probe goes to 48 and Core Temp reads 37 to 38.

There was no fudiness there. Cold, hard, or soft warm and wet. I wasnt spreading fear or doubt. I was reporting my experiance and making a recommendation based on that. I still dont see where your getting this. I mean, It not like I was running my mouth saying "4x4 will rule kentsfield all....mark my words, you'll see. I know I invented 4x4"
Now that aside, there were some things I wanted to talk to you about, trying to isolate the problem with Core Temp.
When you were running Core Temp, were you running it simultaniuosly with TAT?
Were you running it with any other Temp monitoring programs?
The reason I went looking for other progs was that I didnt trust PcProbe. MBM and Hmon agree with it though. Now, what is interesting, is when I run Core Temp simultaniuosly with PCProbe, PCProbe will "spike" momentarily up to 264"C from time to time. Clearly this is wrong. MBM and Hmon dont seem to have a problem with this. This implies to me that the 2 progs are interferring with each other somehow. TAT does not seem to interfer with PCProbe. (another reason I tend to distrust Core Temp)
So, I am thinking that perhaps, the other progs are interfering with Core Temps sensor polling cycle, or vice versa. I could explain why my readings are apparently jacked up.
I've seen screenshots of TAT and CoreTemp running togather... don't think there's any interference there.
I'm suprised MBM5 is still able to read the sensor chip on your board. I guess it used one that already existed in its database. My advice, don't use it. (Even though I'm a die-hard MBM5 fan and use it for older mobos)
SpeedFan + CoreTemp/TAT, that's an intresting one because people will be using that combo in my guide. Can you please test that? Thanx
ASUS's PCProbe=blind man shooting rifle or it does the same calculation as what SpeedFan used.

Coretemp and Asus probe are really close on my e6600 system, within 1-2 C, and the coretemp is always updating, and the Asus is set for every 5 seconds.
ASUS probe has always had problems with interference. Speedfan, everest, everything - they all cause occasional spikes or dips, and sometimes the reading is "N/A" for a few seconds. I got 73C on my e6600 within 30s of dual prime95 with stock cooler and no OC. Definitely try removing the HS and giving it a good clean (as well as the cpu) and then apply some AS5 to the cpu. I use a piece of plastic to make a nice even thin spread on the surface of my cpu. I dont trust a blob in the centre to spread out nicely and evenly. And I certainly didnt trust the pitiful junk that was on the cooler originally.
I had to add something for the new system builders in the crowd. Won't call you nubz, cause we all were at one time or another. If you don't know what you're doing, plz plz plz read the documentation! There are so many on-line quality guides with pics. Maybe AS5 website would have been a great place to start. NEVER apply AS5 to the HS that still has the original thermal grease on it. That defeats the whole purpose and could possibly could cause AS5 to leek out damaging your MB and CPU (I know far-fetched but wouldn't that be ugly, might be a nice fireworks show too.)
Don't turn on your computer until you...You can, but 80+ C is ridiculosly high and in danger of damaging components). Not to mention almost smells of Troll-fry.
1. Remove your Heat sink.
2. Clean both HS and CPU carfully with isopropyl alcohol or acetone and a bit of careful rubbing. Do not use nail polish remover (you can but have to be careful what type you use, best left not recomended)
3. FOLLOW the guide on how to reapply AS5. here 4. Re-seat your HS carefully, following the directions provided. Take your time a lot of people mess up here and don't know why their temps get so high.
5. If your temps still read in the 80's you might try the process again from step 1 or RMA, as a 80+C Conroe is pretty much going be useless anyway.
