How hot is a Northwood supposed to be?

[Talon582]

What's the average temp for a northwood processor?

Mine runs at 45-49 degrees celcius and my room temp is 82-85 f, with the cpu vcore set at 1.65 volts (10% above the default setting of 1.5) using the standard Intel heatsink. Some have reported temps as low as 40, but I personally don't beleive it, due to the inaccurate hardware monitors on some boards.

I avg about 36 - 43 my back fans aways blow out cool air, I have everything tucked in and rounded.

Northwoods are pretty cool!
