The strange thing is that Speedfan and HWMonitor report the CPU's idle temp as 40ºC and full load at 63ºC. This CPU only has a TDP of 35w so it should only be half that! Intel lists the themal spec (the temp it should not exceed) of the CPU as only 60ºC, which makes me a little concerned. AND when I touch the heatsink, it barely feels warm, and after re-seating the heatsink twice with AS5 I know it's making proper contact.
Anyone heard of this? Strange imo, esp. with people posting videos on youtube showing their celeron 430 running without a heatsink.
