I have an core i5-2500 on stock speed with stock cooler and with arctic silver 5 compound, I have 2 intake fans in the front, 1 side blowing out, 1 rear blowing out, and 1 top blowhole. My idle CPU temps according too hardware monitor is around 45 Celsius idle, and when i immediately run Prime 95 after 30 seconds the temps jump up to 95 Celsius on core 0. I believe this is a problem... am i wrong? Why am i getting such high temps at stock clock speed?

Best solution
(1) Did you verify that a 4 white nubs are sticking out correctly - Most common cause of high temps when using Intel HSF. Recommmend whating a video on installation if you have not already done so. The Stock HSF should be able to keep temps below 90 C under Load with an ambient temp of 22 C. If HSF is installed correctly and load temps still high, recommend checking case cooling by removing side panel and use a household fan blowing into case. to check.
The Intel Stock HSF should only be used as either a door stop or left in the box to keep it from blowing away. In addition to being probmatic on install, they are at the Bottom of the list in termes of performance. I do NOT even install automatically order a 3rd party HSF.
(2) Try side fan Blowing in.
On My system 1 rear (out) front 2 x (IN), top (OUT) and side NONE and Taped vent holes.

It's most likely the push pins aren't all seated fully. That is one of the gripes with Intel's stock cooler is the installation can be a pain to get right, especially when the mobo is in the case already.yes that could be the most rational possibility, in addition try to touch the heatsink itself when it's in IDLE mode and see if it's really getting that hot.

I think you are right, i was having trouble getting the 1 pin in but i thought i had it in good enough i could be wrong though, after work i will try to reseat it.
as for aftermarket coolers, could you recommend one that is pretty cheap because i am on a strict budget, I was thinking maybe the CORSAIR CAFA50 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

never heard before what you're saying no one get's 30 C at full load, maybe with a liquid nitrogen

Looks like im not the only one with a 30c load and low 20's idle with an overclock.

i can't see anything in the link you provided but a review of the CPU cooler, don't get the reading of the On-Die sensor just the reading of the Mobo sensor and the 3rd party software like ET6

* well i have the 1055T clocked at 2.8 (the default clock) when i'm running it at that speed i get 34 degrees at idle mode, when i'm gaming and working on a multitask applications i get 57 degrees expanding to 60 (CPU is 96% in taskmgr)
* when i'm overclocking @ 4.1 the temp on idle is 43 due to the overvoltage 1.5V and 75 degrees expanding to 77 or 78 when playing games and running applications on the background.

So my previous post was correct, his temps ARE in normal range. Your latest post just confirmed what i stated. So, back to this, how am I wrong?
PS: Thank you everybody for the quick and informative responses, they were of great help!

Dropped my temperature signifcantly. (Before: 45C idle / 53 load. After: 26C idle / 30C load)
Dropped temp 5C at the min, up to 10C or more at load (50-55 to 40-45 with load).
Pros: - Dropped my temperature signifcantly. (Before: 45C idle / 53 load. After: 26C idle / 30C load)
Pros: This thing IS AMAZING runs a 965 o.c to 4.1ghz and idles at 31 with load only hits 36 ...
Pros: Awesome Mounting. Very secure. Fits and cools my 1090T like a glove keeping it at 28 C on idle and 49 C max load
These were copy/pasted from newegg in no particular order. seems to me you have high temps even for a 6 core
My cpu runs 22-26 while surfing and such while 30c max when i game. Ive played witcher 2 for hours and never went past 30c. Am I wrong for having low temps? I was just trying to help you out and you made it into a " nu-uhhh" war.

post a pic of CPU-Z, Prime 95 torture test, HWMonitor, Core Temp, Black Box if you know about it ... when the CPu is overclocked at 4.1
if you're trying to say that you hit 36C at full load when the processor is overclocked then NO Company would produce any huger aftermarket CPU cooler will only be the 212+
Note: what do you mean by load ? i mean by full load a 98% usage of the CPU
