Well, i just finished building my new computer and i have a problem. It is an e6850 dual core processor on an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard. I checked the bios and after about a minute on, the CPU reads at 79 degrees, with the shutdown being 85. What could be the problem?? Im fairly certin the heatsink and fan are on correctly..

yeah we used what came with the stock heatsink



Did you buy a separate cpu fan? Cause one of the main complaints that have been made to intel is that they went cheaped out on the stock cooling.

Seems like you've got poor contact between HSF and CPU. You have to apply a Lot of pressure for the stock HSF to fit right. I knew about this problem before hand and purchased a better cooling HSF. Tuniq Tower 120

Dido on heatsink, or your motherboard temp senser is bad. I would buy a new heatsink anyway. My E6850 will go 3.9ghz Orthos stable and after 10 hours only be 55c. But that's with H20.
