People keep listing these low CPU temps makes me wonder if something is wrong with my stock cooler.  My i7, with no overclocking runs in the high 70s to low 80s.  Mayb its time for a CPU cooler


It depends on the CPU. The Phenom II 1055T has 62 or 71 C as the maximum temperature depending on the specific model (though it would work at higher temperatures, safety margins and all).

A friend of mine had an older AMD CPU which may have been running at 90 C or more for quite a while and it didn't break, though I wouldn't recommend that...

I don't know what is your specific model, but for example an i7 920 lists 67.9 C:

Mine is the i7-950, But it lists the same temperature as the one you specified.  So I am guessing I should get this looked into.  Maybe there is something wrong with how the stock cooler is resting on it or something and there is no heat transfer and thus no heat dissapation.  And It does get loud when I test it.
