Yesterday I picked a boxed e7500 and MSI p43 neo-f. Installation was very smooth. Bios reports temps of 31c/28c, exactly what I was expecting/hoping for.

When I get into windows, I launch coretemp (0.99.5) which reported temps of 41/37 at idle (1.604g / 1.152 vcore). Same with real temp (3.00). The temps never fluctuate at idle (between 0 and 15% load) so I take it that something about the programs don't allow it to report temperatures below a certain value. So whatever, I'll take the BIOS's temp as the actual.

However, when I run prime95 the temps skyrocket. I'm getting high temps of 63/58. Ambient temp is 18 so we're talking about an increase of over 40c. By contrast, my old phenom x3 8450 never went above 31 at load.

So my question is: are these temps to be expected? Is it safe to trust temps given by software like core temp and real temp?

I was hoping I could do a mild overclock to about 3.4 without buying a new cooler, but these temps are already out of my comfort zone. Any advice or insights would help a lot.

Case cooling? Might be lacking in removing the hot air. I'd try a reseat, maybe the TIM or a pushpin isn't perfect. Otherwise an aftermarket cooler.

I'd still look at the normal Coretemp, Realtemp, and HWMonitor for temps. Bios temps really aren't accurate at all.

Ohh check you don't have auto vid on, maybe your pushing more volts than you need to.
