Intel Core2Duo E4500 2.2ghz high temperatures!

[makjack]

My processor is running at high temperatures. Using Coretemp, it shows around 40c idling and about 62-63c during 100% load. I am using stock cooling here. On overclocking to 2.42ghz (220x11) , the temperatures start reaching 70c. Is this normal? Thanks in advance.

Time to switch coolers, Hyper212+, will give you plenty of cooling and lots to play with for < £20.

how old is the PC, a simple addition of some new thermal paste, (after removing old paste) could help significantly.

Yeah, it's quite old. About 3-4 years. I will try and report back. Thanks.

honestly those temps are perfectly acceptable with the stock heatsink which probably looks like this http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://www.madshrimps.be/files/images/articles/IntelCore2DuoE850045nmWolfdaleCPUReview-massman-21304.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/article/680/Thermalright-Ultra-120-eXtreme-CPU-Cooler-Review/5&usg=__ZWnr0XM-PdfRUTbUFiEbf_fk7Ms=&h=447&w=600&sz=39&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=cShxj8tCYs6oKM:&tbnh=153&tbnw=243&ei=pAfjTbn_DYXIuAPGhozKBg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dintel%2B%2522core%2B2%2522%2Bheatsink%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1260%26bih%3D839%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=32&page=1&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0&tx=139&ty=73. for overclocking you could get a hyper212+ or even a heatsink from a higher end core2 CPU, the ones with the copper core ( http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2132&page=2 )and are much better than the stock e4500 heatsink.

i do agree with you.But you could improve those temps if you wanted to.
