devvfata1ity said:yeah the D-14 and the Eclipse II are similar in performance & i am also getting 40-43 C at idle at stock speeds. But my ambients are quite high ~34-35 C and also I am using a crappy TIM so with a better TIM i expect my temps to drop by another 5-6 C. You should try reseating the HSF & spreading the TIM as suggested by asingh, may be that will help. In my case since i have got a DT cooler i got the best results by applying slightly more than the usual amt on a vertical line at two heatpipes on the base of the cooler. This gave me the best possible contact.
sorry this at 4.5 ghz.i see no defference on stock temp either at 3.4 ghz or 4.5ghz.because of intel new power saving mode
on load its defferent story though.with air conditioner on temp can come down upto 33-36 on my cpu.even my ambient room temp should be same.but i have haf-x
