I have read other responses about temperatures on the Pentium D, but I would prefer getting answers to my specific questions to my system, so here goes:
I recently built a new system including a Pentium D 820 on an nForce 570 motherboard, with a CoolerMaster CPU fan (see http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131032 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103001 ). They are all in a Raidmax Smilidon case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156062 ) with 5 fans (4x80mm + 1x120mm).
However, I am becoming worried about the temp readings. While idling, it will drop down to around 45C, but when I get both cores running at 100%, it jumps up to a max of 56C. As soon as I lessen the load, though, it drops straight back down. Now, I realize that the Artic Silver 5 thermalpaste I used hasn't fully cured ("baked"), but should I be worried about these temps? What should I do?
