ok well i poped in my new cpu and cooler and temps are ready aroun 30 in bios but in everest, it reads 80.. i tried speed fan and it says around 80 on one of the temps... which should i bilieve??? my cpu is a intel pentium d 805... i overclocked it to 3.0ghz and it read the same and then i put it back to stock.. read the same... i took off the as5 and reaplied it this time a thinner and it still reads the same.. what should i do?!
Need Help Quick Please!!!!

If that was a GPU you were talking about, I'd say its pretty hot (too hot) but reading correctly. Not for a cpu... too hot to be working. I can run two instances of Prime95 on my C2D E6600 @3.6GHz and my temps will top out at 68C, any higher (if I overclock it up to 3.7) and it locks up. (I used to be able to get 3.7GHz and stable, gotta find out what the heck I did wrong...

Cool, that's sorted out.
Now the next step is checking the video card and seeing if thats running at 80C... which is acceptable but still pretty hot. Might want to see what its temp at idle and load is, could need some extra/better cooling on it. One of my new rules is video cards should have an aftermarket HSF. Right now I don't have the $$$ for my 8800GTS, nor have I seen much for the 8800 series, but when $$$ permits I'll definitely get one. (The stock cooler is actually doing a pretty good job.) I have a pair of 7900GT's with Zalman VF-900's, and they are outstanding, 20C drop at idle and about 30C drop at load. ( = great for overclocking!
)
Good luck in getting your rig cool and fast.

thanks... what is a good temp and how high should i go with the voltage on my cpu?
EDIT: i have this cooler, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103013

30C at idle is good, so that HSF is doing what it should be doing... keeping your cpu COOL. How high your load temps are is another matter; if they're going above 50C at stock speed/voltage, not too good. (I won't lie to you, I don't know the stock speeds or voltages of the D805, nor do I have the time to research them right now... google away, you'll find your answers.)
You should keep your voltage as low as possible while maintaining a stable system. Adding voltage creates more heat, so only up the voltage if you plan to increase cpu speed.
What I do to stress my cpu and make sure its g2g (good to go):
1) SuperPi
2) CPU Burn-in (with dual-core cpus run two seperate instances simultaneously. This will provide %100 cpu utilization, use 'max heat generation' setting.)
3) 3DMark05 and then 3DMark06 (good for stressing both cpu(s) and gpu(s), if your pc has a problem this is the first stressor that will catch it.)
4) Prime95- with dual-core cpus set the 'affinity' to 0 for the first instance, and 1 for the second instance; you'll be running two Prime95's at once, and this will completely stress and heat your pc, more heat than CPU Burn-in. If you overclock and this fails, back your speed down until you can run this for at least a couple hours, I try for 6+ hours, most people don't call a system stable if it can't run for 24 hours.
Have fun...

For running prime for stress testing, I use Orthos. It runs dual or single thread (depending on CPU) automaticly, so there's no special setup.
