Hello:

I have an HP Z420 workstation with 6 Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 cores which I keep 100% busy. Lately I have noticed the past 1/2 year that the sensor temps are slowly rising.

They used to be in the 70 deg Celsius range, but just yesterday they were averaging 77 to 82 deg Celsius which seems high.

The cooler is the HP 647287-001 5-Pin LGA 2011 Heatsink for Z420 and it's rated to take 130W cooling and handle the Xeon cpus okay.

Could my cooler be going bad?  2 weeks ago I changed the thermal paste, and that did not make any difference in the CPU temps.

Can anyone share what they see on their Intel Xeon chips under full load?
