I built my rig a few years ago; E7400 (2.8, have overclocked it, but running stock as of late), P5QE MB, 4GB...
The entire time I have had it my (via CPUID and Core Temp) cores have always been 38/36 @ idle, when I run prime95 usually by the 2nd round of it doing its thing the temps would be high 40s now, when I rebuilt it (took everything apart, cleaned it all, some better cable management etc etc) I also replaced my CPU cooler (picked up a newer ThermalTake to replace my older ThermalTake as it was getting a bit noisy) so repaste I go and now, my cores are still 38/36 idle, my CPUTIN is (right now) 17 when I run prime95 now, usually around the 4th round my CPUTIN is just touching 40 and my cores are flipping between 39 & 40. I didn't remove any chips or anything when I rebuilt it just kind of scares me that maybe my winbond isn't "working" right but all other data from it seems fine... ?!?
