CPU @ idle 40C
CPU running Prime95 Torture Test (Max Heat) 60C
Case Temp 33C

I have a 2.8e with a Zalmann 7000A and never break 50C. My temperature variation from idle to full load is only 8 degrees C. Can't explain why you jump 20 degrees C, but IMO 60C is acceptable for full load.

try running prime 95 torture test on maximum heat, you'll see ur cpu just more than 8 degrees.

under regular load my cpu hits about 45 degrees celcius, sometimes 50 in doom 3.

I taped the sensor from my case in a high heat area. The case temperature is flashing between 31 and 35C. MBM says 44C but that is really my NB temperature.
