try coretemp:

in windows, it might be a motherboard bios issue - if it seems normal in windows then try and update the bios

btw its not all that high, what type of mb cpu combo do you have, stock 930 i7 in an x58 can be between idle 49C and 78C Load but varies in each system

see i;m using pemtium 4 processor 3.01 ghz atx motherboard(bio star).....so is it normal ...if the temp is 50 deg celcius

yeah - thats pushing it - have you tried reapplying the thermal grease w/ heatsink (which are you using - stock?) also do you know if its the prescott - those things are hotter than the N
