Well Intel Support Questionnaire filled in & sent.

I am having heat issues with my E8400 I have referred this to my retailer on their support site http://forums.hexus.net/1328212-post34.html , they in turn have told me top contact you.

I purchased the cpu to go in a HTPC i plan to build. I bought it on the basis of
PRESS KIT - First 45nm Chips: Eco-Friendly. Faster. ‘Cooler’. , looking at the comparison with my main q6600 it's not giving me the temps i expect , bottom line with those temps i don't want a red hot htpc.

I have the CPu-z dumps to show my DTS values on load & idle. & also coretemp logs read from the cpu, should you require them

I have read that there may be some issues with the sensors
& am unsure if this is the case , As noted in my tests on idle the core 1 Temperature appears frozen at 43C absolute DTS of 62C.
I would like clarrification if at all possible :-
1) Are my results within the normal operating window ??
and / or
2) Are my temperatures overstated due to inaccurate or faulty sensors.??

Thank you

They reckon to turn the request round in a maximum of 5 days. not sure where that will leave me in terms of any DSR options I might have.

Scan are caught rather in the middle on this, though. After all, they get what they're sent, just like we do.

Thanks's for that Saracen , of course I appreciate that, but at the moment i feel more like a victim in a traffic accident.
