I ve just assembled a new rig .. E 7200 on a P35 board... i havent OCd yet... I used Realtemp 2.5 to get temp of my CPU...it shows an alarming 40 to 45 on idle.... NOTE:i ve not OCd yet and i Plan to do so... i'm in India and the room temp is indeed a little high... is this normal ??? or have i not installed the stock cooler properly ??
run prime 95 it loads the processor to almost 100%.
You can watch the the temps in realtemp 2.5 while the prime runs.
Here's the link for prime 95....http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103
let us know what temps you hit..
*if you see the processor hitting 70C stop and let it cool down...that's too high!*

hmm.. that's interesting... my E7200 didn't surpass 30 degrees on boot and was at about 40-45 degrees on load. I believe it's the ambient temp causing the temps to go up.
At first my mobo wouldn't recognize my cpu so it ran around 19*c so I updated my bios (which fixed the recognision problem) and it started running at around 40-45*c (little to no load) and 50-53 under load (an hour of crysis lol) so I think that temp is fine (mines o'ced to 3GHz)
