I just wanted to know if someone could tell me if my temps are ok with stock cooling. I have one intake and one exhaust fans both are 120mm and I am using the stock Intel cooler for my E6750. I am using CoreTemp to measure my Temp. Idle is 40C Running Prime95 1st test for about 45 Min it peaks at 65C and levels off at 61C. I put the machine together about a month ago and it has been rock solid so far but I was just curious about the temps.

your idle temp is a bit high and your load temp seems to be on target but you are using intel stock cooler. so i think its okay and you dont have to worry about getting better cpu cooler.
Thanks What if I wanted to over clock? What kind of CPU cooler would everybody recommend I get without having to remove the motherboard?
An Arctic Freezer Pro would give you a little more room for manoeuvre and as it utilises the same fittings as the standard Intel HSF there is no need to remove the mobo, I know that some people have had problems with this but I have replaced several and have had no 'seating' issues at all.
