The new processor i got (Q9550) is running fairly hot. 45C avg idle, and reaches up to 70C under load. Since the quad cores are more delicate than their dual and single core counterparts, i was wondering if this is too high. I've reseated the heatsink fan twice, and the only difference it made was dropping the load temp down from 75C.
I really don't like these push pin heatsinks, but the fan seems solid and in place. When i physically grab it, it's doesn't shift unless it flexes with the motherboard.
