Hi,I read the core i7 temp guide but I didn't find a solution I have an Asus P6T with i7 920 running at stock speed 2.66Ghz. When I start a game or try to stress the cpu with Real Temp I quickly get temps around 80°C (I stop the test before getting problems). Idle temp of the cores is around 50°C while CPU is usually 10°C cooler at around 40°C. I did the sensor movement test and this is what I get: 21 - 24 - 19 - 22 Isn't this too high? Vcore is at around 1.1 (Speedfan, CPUID) Even worse...I changed the stock cooler to an AC Freezer Xtreme Rev.2. The above mentioned temps are with the AC. With the Intel cooler I get 15°C more... Hope someone can help and sorry to bother

Once again, you've got a temp reading that's obviously not accurate. Your system will shut down at 80c or reboot. If you have installed the heatsink correctly, then ignore the temps. I wouldn't even flash the bios if your setup if stable. It's not worth the risk of a dead board from a bad flash just to get accurate temps. The cpu has built in protection against high temps. If you're not overclocking, I would stop worrying about it. Most quad cores run at about 40-60c. I just finished a class at dell about electrostatic discharge damage. If you feel the need to keep adjusting your cpu or board, I would recommend a simple wrist band for esd. They cost 1-$3.

Actually it doesn't shut down my pc (it even got over 90C once)

Can flashing the bios help?

Reseat the heatsink.
Reapply thermal paste.
Set the fan to always on in the bios.

The cpu fan has to blow out in the direction of the exhaust fan in the case (top or side).

Just reseated the heatsink and reapplied the thermal paste...idle temps a litte better but under load still bad.

But I have a 10°C difference between my cores and cpu
