the attached image is it at rest with a few idle applications in the back and the OS.

this one is while actually using PARI in th background. I stopped it after the picture about 1 minute 30 seconds into the calculation.

Interesting. It would seem, then, that the 58 C figure was obtained while the CPU was essentially idle--in which case it's rather high. In the PARI example, only one core is being used, so it's still not a good test of how hot the CPU [I]can[/I] get under maximum load.

Do you by chance have Prime95 set up? (Perhaps a safe bet, since this is the mersenneforum?) If so, try running it on both cores and an hour later (with Prime95 still running) check SpeedFan again.

I've got it down to 55 with all fans running on full but I may need to clean my vents to make it work better I do have prime 95 in fact I believe I have the newest version beta lol. okay i thought i did lol.

For this it doesn't matter which version you have; any Prime95 will sufficiently stress the CPU when run on both cores.

I'm actually getting a version as apparently I didn't have it installed lol says 24 minutes left in the download.

not so helpful before I left I had it down to about 41(with all fans at full) when I got back it was up to 55 and when I ran even the first part of the torture test it got up past 61. also it seems to wobble for that one.

Yeah, the CPU temp usually wobbles a little bit when under full load--that's normal. I don't know the exact threshold at which your CPU begins thermal throttling, but most modern Intels (P4 or newer) have a threshold somewhere above 70 C, so anything below that should be safe. (It's expected that the full-load temp will be significantly higher than the idle temp; the important thing is that both are within spec.)

I may clean out the openings more than I have because i haven't in while before now.

How can you sleep with THAT -12V Voltage of yours?O.o
Now back on the case: You should try looking on the Exotics tab for something more informative :)
