If that's your idle temperatures, then I'm worried. If you've got active cooling, and your E8400 is sitting at 47C (always look at the highest core), then I'm guessing you'll be pushing 65C at load. I know this is still within processor specs, but I personally try to keep my CPUs running at 60C or lower.

You can also go about dropping your voltages if you're running at stock speeds. I'm sure that it would help with shaving a few degrees off your temperatures.

im running the e8400 at 3.6ghz

and those are my idle temps
if you search up e8400 and ip35 pro you will see a lot of people with temperature problems, so right now im still waiting on abit to release a bios update to fix the problem cause theres no way my temps should be that high with the stuff i have

edit: it seems like abit came out with a new bios
i will try that and post up my temps tomorrow

Try using CoreTemp to display the delta to throttling temp. It won't necessarily give an accurate temperature, but it is a reliable measure of how much headroom you have.

FWIW, I have a similar system in an Antec 900. I'm definitely interested to compare your results.

when i choose the delta to tjunction max temp in socre temp
it displays it as 62 until tjunction
