My only question is "what's the purpose of your post"?

Im sorry, i was in a rush. I wanted to know if my temps are ok. My temps are IDLE (using core temp) 46 C and full load 66 C (for 1 Hour) then 70 C after that hour. Real Temps show Temps about 8 C lower, and my motherboard (ASUS P5N-D) shows temps 8 Degrees higher. Also, which one can i trust lol?
 
I'd grab a decent heatsink/fan, those temps are rather high.

I had a 4GHz oc idling @ 38c on a Sunbeam CoreContact Freezer.

70c is pushing it I'd say. I didn't even like when my E8400 got above 50c that much, lol. But full load was 53c.

I'd definitely recommend a heatsink and fan. TRUE 120, Xigmatek HDT-S1283, or a Sunbeam CR-CCTF are all good choices.

Update, my idles are 45 C and Full load im pulling about 60-61 MAX.
(using orthos) What about a Thermaltake Ultra 120? im using 4297 MHz (477.52 x 9.0). With a FSB of 1910. Im pulling 11 Seconds super pi, and that benchmark on real temp, i score 5-6 Seconds, 2600 Points.
 
Welcome to O/C Forums :welcome:

And about the aftermarket cooler, it's called a ThermalRight Ultra Extreme 120 (TRUE 120), not the Thermaltake Ultra 120, lol.

The TRUE is considered to be the best air cooler out.
