Core 2 Quad, Q9400 Processor Temp

[idata]

I just bought and installed an Intel Core 2 Quad, Q9400 Processor on an Asus motherboard. After going over the instruction book and online manual, it says the CPU temperature is between 30 and 38 deg Celsius. That's 86 and 100.4 deg Farenheit. This has got to be a typo. So my question is, what is the real answer? Right now, unburdened, the CPU temp is 51 deg Celsius. One more question. Why is the right click menu restricted here? Your spell checker is terrible.

71.4 C is just the temp of processor case, not the core temp
