CPU too hot on 7N400 Pro2 ?

Actually, it turns out that the voltage was at +10%!!! I could have sworn I turned it back to normal. It is normal, now.
1.75v, and registering around 60*C under load.
Hope THAT'S normal. Prime 95 ran for 11 something hours, then errored out. Maybe anotehr +5% voltage may help?

Yes, I applied thermal paste! Are you sure the temps are accurate!?
I have to up the voltage to 1.80v (+7.5%), and at full load P95, I was getting around 71*C!!! I had to otherwise it won't be stable.
Now, for the low temps - are HSF are you using?

naddie,
Seeing your last post makes me want to pull your motherboard from the case, pull hsf and cpu(cleaning both with isopropyl alcohol) also taking the time to clean the hs fan blades and fins or whatever you have.
Fresh layer of good quality heat sink compound, in the proper ammt and the hsf mounted squarely on top of the cpu die, while outside of the case.
Dont know if ive mentiond this here before, but ive seen and helped a number of users who did not recognize that the cpu socket is rotated 90degrees, and have put their hsf on wrong
For reference I have the coolermaster hhc-001 heatpipe, sanded with as3, and fan modded to spin at 7031rps, so maybe 2500 isnt enough?

naddie,
give it a try, and depending on how adventurous you are, again I would suggest going to the trouble of pulling the mb(Youre never gonna be sure that your didnt smear the hs paste or not get the hsf centerd )with the mb in the case.
As for the fan, not really, tower sits beside the disk, 18" off the floor, I have to listen to hear any of the fans, and with background stereo, tv or something allways on it's not a problem for me.

According to a thread at amdmb the bartons are running hot on the pro 2 board. Under 60 is considered normal. One guy even modded his barton to run cooler. The other 1700+ seen to be good, just the barton is hot!

Funny my Barton 2500+ with a Giga 7N400 Pro 2 running with no overclock is 37°C idle with mbm/Easytune and 28.5°C with the sensor taped to the bottom of the chip.
For some reason I'm inclined to believe the taped sensor after reading all the posts how Gigabyte boards temp sensors are usually reading about 10° too hot.
