My E7200 has been at stock since i got it. I ran Orthos and my temps went from idle 38 degrees to 62 degrees after a few hours. For giggles, I overclocked to 2.7 ghz from 2.5 to see how it effected temps. My idle temp went up 3 degrees and my load stayed the same. I put it to 3 ghz and idle went up and load stayed the same. This is stock cooling in an Antec 900. I ran the Real Temp sensor test and it came out just fine. Is there anything to worry about, or did I just get lucky?

Get coretemp or speedfan and run the test again. Those are the only 2 temp programs I trust.
