It's always like that high? Damn, yeah somethings wrong.
Mine seems to keep pretty low, not 15 all time but mid 20-30s kinda.

Can do if you wish.

Unless you have the drives, I dont see the point in investing in new drives for an old server but would be a good project if you already have the gear.

Unless your room is at 15 degrees c, your not getting them temps. Your hardware can only be cooled by the air temperature in your room which, on average, is around 20 degrees c.

Well I have my window open And my PC hasn't been on too long. Like I said it goes to 20s and 30s usually.

Good news guys, just build my pc and the temps are now looking mighty fine ;) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Seems pretty low if you ask me unless the room the PC is in is 8c or below. If the room is hotter than 8c and the temp stays around 8c then there is a sensor issue.

room is quite cold, haven't got a thermometer to check

That is just how the FX's are. They use an algorithm to calculate core temperature based of the CPU's power consumption as opposed to dedicated temp sensors within the die to relay temperature as in the previous generation Phenom II's. FX's are generally off by about 10c at idle through about 35-40c, after that the algorithm is fairly accurate within +/- 1c.

A quick quote from Toms hardware explaining that the FX range, including the 6300, temperatures are a bit of at idle.

That would explain why then haha, thanks for clearing that up!
