why is temp soo high?

[JayP]

I've got my set at 100fsb x 8.5, 1.65v. Idle temps is at 43c using SK-6 + 26CFM 4200rpm YS Tech fan. System temps at 30c. Isn't this way too hot?

Well unless your using a thermal probe to get those temps, your getting it from your insocket thermisistor which is always off on temps.

You can try taking your SK-6 off, putting some more Artic Silver II on and reseating the SK-6.

I think your fan on the hsf is too weak to keep up with the SK6 consider using a better fan like a Delta 38.

And if you have no airflow consider that too.

yeah 26cfm is ginda weak,
And how many case fans u have?
I have 2 80mm intake and 2 80mm exhaust,

ur temps aren't really that high. Mine are 52c full load and 46 idle for cpu. I got stock hsf but looking for a new one. Either the SK6, Thermoengine EXTREME, or the Alpha PAL 8045. I don't wanna spend too much.:beer:

Thsoe temps aren't all that high. You coudl probably lower them a bit though. Try switching to a slightly higher RPM fan and reseating the heatsink after re-applying some thermal grease
