E, 8400 Degrees Celcius....
Hello, I am also having problems with my E8400. I "upgraded" from an e6550 (2.33GHZ) running around 33C idle and up to 44C under load... but my e8400 is reading between 53-60C idle!!! I've tried adjusting the multiplier and turning it down (to 6x, ~2.00 GHZ), and it operates at the same temp. I've reseated the cpu quite a few times. Not so funny thing is: even under 100% load it only jumps up about 3-4 degrees to about 63-64, even after 6 hrs running a full load stress test. :/ I would expect it to get quite a bit hotter if it was already running at such a high temperature, essentially doing nothing. I don't know what to make of it, should i return it? or assume all the readings are just inaccurate?
