Core 2 duo temp question?

[ingeborgdot]

What is the normal temp of the c2d?  Mine is running at 46C at idle. I tried artic silver 5 and it is still 46.

As long as it's under or around 60 at full load then I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I have considerable experience with C2D temps and overclocking recently so may be able to help if you really want to get the temps down.
What C2D is it - E6600?
What heatsink/cooler do you use?
What do you use to measure temps?

I got it all set up and everything seemed to be going fine.  I have been installing the drivers and windows updates and all of that was done.  I was now working on getting some software installed and had installed the logitech setpoint for the keyboard and mouse.  I installed the antivirus avg, windows defender which I had to uninstall because it kept on going corrupt.  Anyway I was messing with the Al Lifestyles features and was just learning and playing around a little bit with fan settings etc.  Nothing major at all.  It had to restart and bam.  It won't restart.  The fans and dvd roms work, and the power light on the mobod is lit.  No power to the screen at all now.  What is up.  I cleared the cmos and it said it couldn't find the dvd rom, floppy etc.  but it won't let me get into the bios.  Does anyone have any idea at all.  I have built many computers and had minor problems but never this.  WoW.
