Hehe, there is a reason why you buy better coolers sonicsam. And trust me, 55 is NOT that overly high (over 60 is to high for comfort).
Ive got a G0 stepping, so mines cooler then yours at 3.0ghz with stock fan, then yours is with 2.4 on stock .
my 3.6 ghz currently runs at 61c on highest load (stressing out all 4 cores to 100% max, which you cannot do without a burnin program like Orthos). On regular load, mine runs at 58. Only 3c hotter then yours.... and 1.2ghz faster.....
And Dr4gon, im glad to see yours sitting comfortably at 3.0ghz... Crap, i forgot MSI in my MB list... thanks
