i want to know what temps people are getting from the i7 920 at STOCK speeds with the intel cooler on both idle and load.

i'm asking this as i am getting 40-45c idle and 75-80c load (prime95 64-bit) with the stock cooler which seems rather steep to me.
 
I got higher temps with the POS stock hsf, it's just inadequate. I'm not sure "epic fail" is enough for how weak it is for this cpu. Best advice I can possibly give you is leave it stock until you get a real heat sink of some kind, whether air or water, but it needs to be good. A few google searches will show you scorching temps on these things.
 
original poster: things have changed, i7 runs hotter, your temperatures are normal for how things are with the i7.
