cpu is not overclocked yet.

using a coolermaster hyper tx heatpipe/fan and artic silver thermal stuff but it stays at 45c idle and 58c gaming. thats worse than using stock right?

Cant understand why its so hot while idle? cpu cooler is proplerly installed, is there anything im missing out?

ps. im running another exact same system but E6600 is idle at 27c and 40c gaming just heatsink is a silent nexus. heard the coolermaster idles at 30c could it be a faulty heatpipe?

Redo the heatsink using the instructions from Arctic Silver (http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm).
