    	    <description><![CDATA[It sounds like the cpu is not in proper contact with the heatsink as above post the mounting mechanism on the stock heatsink is utter crap &#38; sometimes doesn't lock in place, last time I used the stock heatsink on an 8400 it was running at about 30-35 degrees C idle I can't remember the load temp but it was nowhere near that, check your fan is spinning &#38; check the bios hasn't set the fan to run in silent mode @ around 900rpm, also check your vcore voltage is correct &#38; also what are you using to read the temps?]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[make sure the heatsink actually is locked properly in place...

it needs to have huge pressure against cpu or it wont work

if ur playing only tf2 and its overheating there is srs issue either with heatsink or bios settings.. make sure its not overclocked, or the voltages are at their default setting]]></description>

Default fan which was with the processor in same package.
Yeah.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Hi.
Today I have bought E8400.

After playing tf2 for 5 min it's temperature goes up to:
Core0: 80С; Core1: 75С and more.

When nothing special is loaded it's temperature is - ~49С/50С.

+ The Cover opposite the processor is opened
Is there any way to lower the temperature  ?]]></description>
