I just recently built my PC and I don't know much about normal or acceptable temps for CPUs. Right now my i7 920 idles around 25c overclocked at 3.7ghz according to the E-LEET tuning utility that I got with my MoBo. The cores on the other hand run much hotter around 36c to 43c. When under load the CPU hits 57c and the Cores around 65c-70c. My question is that normal for the cores to run that much hotter than the CPU especially when Its Idle?
