6core amd phenom II x6 1045t at 60c stock

I was about to overclock my CPU when I noticed that it was at 60c. I don't know if it is a bug with my motherboard.

You need a better cooler.. spend some money.. as the saying goes.. No money, no honey..

no bug ... it is a common thing, and you had max temp safely X6 , if you do it .. so grab a big cooler and do trial and error you be patient

That's high. Has it always been that way? Are there any running processes that may be taking CPU cycles? Is the case well-vented? Is there any dust/dirt build-up on the HSF?

My 955 doesn't like anything over 58C. Anything above that while I stress test produces false positives.

Either try re-seating your CPU+HSF or lap it and remount; I lapped mine (I was taking it off anyway so I might as well lap it before putting it all together again).

Try keeping temps on idle + - 40C?

It's only in the bios. When I go into windows it is 40-50 in gaming.

That part I didn't know. In BIOS it's really higher. Pstates haven't kicked in.
You should be fine at the 40-50 range.

Do you think I can overclock it slightly? It's at 2.70GHZ.

I don't see a problem upping it to 3GHz. Try switching the multiplier to reach 3, then run a stress test while monitoring temps. Keep the voltage at default. The worst thing that can happen is the PC freezing (so just press the reset button).
