CPU Temperature Q8300

[alexe]

Hello.

I recently got a Core 2 Quad Q8300 processor. Its all running smooth and nice , but i noticed that the temps of the CPU are kinda high ( in my opinion ).
When i-m starting the pc , Core Temp its showing : Core 0 = 39 C , Core 1 = 38 C , Core 2 = 42C ( Core 2 its allways at 42 dunno why ) , Core 3 = 36-37C.
When i-m browsing internet , Core Temp its showing : Core 0 = 40-42C , Core 1 = 39-40C , Core 2 = 42C , core 3 = 39-40 C
When i-m playing , for example WoW , Core Temp its showing : Core 0 = 46-54 C . Core 1 , 2 and 3 = 46-50 C
Those are Core's temps , the CPU temp showed by Everest or the utility tool i got with the main board its showing 32-33 C in idle , and up to 45-46 C while playing WoW.

Are those temps normal ? What are the normal temps for Core 2 Quad Q8300 ?

And one more question. Keep in mind that i dont want to OC or any of that stuff. What is "CPU Margin Enchancement" in bios setting , and how should i keep that setting : Optimized or Performance ?

I hope someone can answer me , especially at the temperature part.
Thanks in advance.

Could be better but that's far more than OK for a cpu.

I don't know what could mean "CPU Margin Enchancement" in bios , but if you don't know and if you're happy with your cpu's performances, just let it like it is.

Any idee at witch core temperature the processor its starting to lose performance ?
