I7-860 Average Temps???

[Goldenlight]

Just wanted to know if my temps are ok.. I am using the STock heatsink along with artic silver.. I don't overclock, but do like good cooling.

Decided to monitor my cpu.. 40C-73C using prime 95.. Is this normal. Is this program accurate??

The program I am using to monitor my temps is REAl Temp..--

Any Help would be appreciated....??

I am currently running 8 theards on torture test..

The Freezer 7 Pro is actually enough to enable turbo mode without overheating.

I run one for my Q6700 and I OC to 3.32ghz from 2.66ghz. 41Gflops in LinX 64bit. (49 for i7)

Keep this in note for later when you're overclocking, the TDP of this cooler is 133W.
