I'd think about 38 to 42 degrees, they just dont run as cool as AMD...

I've got one that's running at 49-52 degrees ATM. It still has the stock HSF but i've put on some AS5 thermal paste, didn't make a difference. 
Any ideas?

check the surface of the HSF and see f its properly flat. Also temp sensors can be out of sync and report higher or lower than it is, not much to do about that...

When I replaced the thermal paste the heat sink's surface looked pretty smooth.
The heat sink feels quite cool, so maybe it is that the senseors might be out of sync. Just hope so.

The other day I had an E6600, and compared to any AMD, that's one fast mofo.
