reset the heatsink with adequate thermal gunk and check the bios' cpu voltage

its a retail, boxed CPU.
I didnt have luck re-seating the heatsink, which may also be because i didnt get any new thermal paste yet (locally, they only have really crappy stuff). New heatsink will be here wednesday.

If the heatsink is too hot to touch, then the heatsink is insufficent. I got a big zalman cooler on mine, it's a quad core 6600 that runs at 70C (core) 54C (cpu) full load.

Are you overclocking yours? My cores never go over 44c when I'm idle...
I'm not overclocking mine presently.

Everything I read online about it and on Newegg especially, said to not use the stock heatsink, so I purchased a $50 heatsink and while rendering in After Effects , which uses about 2.5 gigs of RAM and utilizes three of the processors at once and image correcting in photoshop simultaneously, it never went above 55c. I shit you not.
Buy a better heatsink.

That thing weighs 503g according to one comment. Thats more than a pound.

Forgot to mention, the C2D chips are rated far above older CPUs. Older chips were in danger of frying above 75C, but I know I've read the C2D's are rated up to 100C.
Still, obviously a new cooling solution was needed, hope the one you ordered works out for ya.

Yep, it's sturdy as hell and you have to mount with included bracket on teh back of the motherboard with screws. It's a monster, but it works amazing.

If it's not warm at all, or hardly, then it's not making good contact either and thus not doing it's job. Also it could just be that you're temp sensor is fucked up, the built in ones aren't known for their accuracy.

hey guys, thanks for the help! Installed my new heatsink/fan today, and now I'm at a cool 42C, no problems!
Phew, that had me feeling down for a little while! If anything else happens, I'll bump this thread, but everything looks good.

I have not yet felt the need to overclock it. Those are the temperatures it normally runs at.
I have a soundcard above my graphics card, and I suspect the static/hissy noise I hear occasionally, especially when playing games, is caused by it overheating. I'm going to affix a heatsink to it using thermal conductive tape, and uninstall it, then reinstall it underneath the graphics card. Hopefully there's enough room to do that and ensure good airflow.
It's an 8800GTX, and it's quiet.
