Re: Core i7 Temperatures definitely not normal. besides trying another temperature monitor - this one is a very good one (Real Temp) »www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/
also I would suggest making sure that your heat-sink is firmly seated, also make sure you did not use too little or too much thermal compound between the cpu and heat-sink.
fwiw: these are my temps with a i7-860 :

kudos:1 | said by Chrno:You really can't compared the temperature of a 860 to that of the 920. There's a ~40w TDP difference between the two. Yeah, if anything, his temperatures should be lower than mine, yet even if I disable SpeedStep my idle temps hover around the upper 40s.
What helps is to disable automatic fan speed in the BIOS and just have it run 100% all the time.
