Hot cpu?

[DanielC_22]

I have the Q8200 core 2 quad CPU, I just had to flash my bios on my EVGA 680i motherboard, Before the flash it said my cpu was about about 50c full load and 45 idle. Now it says 60c on full load and about low 50's on idle, Why does it give me different temp and is that to hot?

P.S: I am using the stock cooler that came with my cpu and IM NOT OC'ing

Probably a glitch in the new bios program. I wouldn't worry about it. The cpu is still within the specified operating range.

If it was a glitch, Would that mean something went wrong in the bios update?

No. It means that bios updates aren't perfect. Sometimes it's best not to update the bios if your system is working well, especially if you are overclocking. Some bios updates have caused a complete system crash when the engineer makes a mistake. Your change in temps are a minor issue; not worth losing sleep over.

Ok great, I wasn't sure if that was to hot or what, but like you said, It's still in its operating temps,

Thanks
