with my case mod i got one of those nice little ultra 120 extremes, and i was ecpecting lower temps than im getting.
at about idle im getting 45C 42C 43C and 37C for my cores. its very odd how far apart my first and last core are when it comes to temperature. Im only running at the stock speed of 2.4GHz and i was thinking of overclocking until i saw the temps... if i remember correctly im not getting much cooler than my old stock cooler.
According to Artic Silver it may take up to 200 hours to "reach full thermal conductivity" so im not sure if thas my problem or if i should be getter better cooling. I have a pretty good fan on my heatsink at about 100 CFM and my case is cooled very well with 4 fans running about 85 CFM and 2 at about 45cfm
so idk what is up.
Ill be gone this next week so ill check then for your replies
EDIT: it also seems my core speed is fluctuating? its always happening, very odd. for example in core temp sometimes it shows at 2399 MHZ and other times 2401 Mhz and etc. Another program i have shows it fluxuating form anwhere from 1950 MHZ up to 2400 mhz...
