    Problem with Intel E8500 that it Running Too Hot

    HEllo friends

    E8500 is a huge upgrade for me as it is. I am not confident enough in my knowledge of this stuff to potentially put however much money I put into this system in jeopardy. Therefore, while reading everything I state below, keep in mind that everything I'm using is stock- including the teeny heatsink.

    I would like to stay on air cooling, and LEDs on fans tend to get on my nerves. If the best one has lights on it, then I'll get it. But I'm not in this for the coolness factor, I'm in this for a very functional PC. I couldn't care less what it looks like.

    Anyway, here is what makes up my system:
    Windows XP
    Asus P5N-T Deluxe 780i motherboard
    Intel E8500 Core 2 Duo 3.16Ghz 1333 FSB
    ATI All-In-Wonder X1900

    Don't refer to temp on sites which don't state what case they used, what cooling for that case, and most importantly what room temp. They were running. XBit failed in the last aspect, and thus you shouldn't compare those temps with yours.

    YOu don't have a faulty CPU or mobo, the temperature reported is correct. What CPU cooler are you using? Standard Intel?

    I would try to remove the top panel of the desktop case and see how temps look then;

    do know that the CPU can up to 70-80°C without issue and thus try to see what temp you reach with the CPU under load

    3DMark06 in loop set all case fans as exhaust, no in-take

    Not possible unless you buy it, take 3D mark 2001 instead, or pick a game which offers auto-benchmarking.
